C. J. Ellis, R. Yahr and B. J. Coppins 2009: Local extent of old-growth woodland modifies epiphyte response to climate change. - Journal of Biogeography36(2): 302-313. [RLL List # 215 / Rec.# 30729] Keywords: EPIPHYTES/ SCOTLAND/ CLIMATE CHANGE/ ECOLOGICAL CONTINUITY
Abstract: [Study in Scotland. "Forty-two lichen species were statistically significant indicator species in oceanic woodlands, and old growth indicators under suboptimal climatic conditions." Authors suggest that " ... the impact of climate change might be offset for certain lichen epiphytes by appropriate management of woodland resources, for example, expansion of native woodland around remnant old-growth stands."]
