Abstract
Six moss species were grown in two growth chambers with similar environmental conditions except for their ç ratios (E660:E730). One chamber simulated a sunlit situation the other a subcanopy shade situation. Different growth responses were observed for several species in the two chambers, which were often in the opposite direction to observations made on vascular plants. The ç ratio may be an important factor in regulating the distribution of mosses in the natural environment.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
