We document the makeup of four understory epiphyllous (leaf-inhabiting) bryophyte assemblages along an elevational gradient on the eastern slopes of the Cordillera El Sira in Ucayali, Peru. Epiphylls from two lowland rainforest (250 and 350 m) and two upland cloud forest (1550 and 1800 m) sites were sampled along a transect spanning 6.8 km horizontal and 1.6 km vertical distance, with 74 epiphyllous taxa (69 liverworts and 5 mosses) identified. Change in community composition along the elevational gradient and factors affecting the diversity and distribution of understory epiphyllous bryophytes are explored using various approaches to diversity measurement and multivariate analysis.
Bryoflore et paysages des Andes orientales au Pérou central: II. Assemblages de bryophytes épiphylles de sous-bois de la Cordillère El Sira.
Nous documentons la composition de quatre assemblages de bryophytes épiphylles (vivant sur les feuilles) de sous-bois le long d'un gradient d'altitude sur les pentes orientales de la Cordillère El Sira au Pérou. Les épiphylles de deux sites de forêt pluviale de basse altitude (250 et 350 m) et de deux sites de forêt nuageuse de haute altitude (1550 et 1800 m) ont été échantillonnées le long d'un transect couvrant une distance horizontale de 6,8 km et une distance verticale de 1,6 km. 74 taxons épiphylles (69 hépatiques et 5 mousses) ont été identifiés. Nous avons exploré, en utilisant diverses approches de mesure de la diversité et d'analyse multivariée, le changement de composition de la communauté le long du gradient d'altitude ainsi que les facteurs affectant la diversité et la distribution des bryophytes épiphylles de sous-bois.
