Moss species list of the Andrews Experimental Forest, 1991

Understanding patterns of distribution and abundance for individual moss species is necessary for understanding ecosystem structure and function and for ensuring proper management. To augment understanding of the ecology of individual species, mosses were examined on the forest floor, on the upper surface of downed logs, and on tree bases in forest stands in the central western Cascades of Oregon on and near the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest. This study quantifies local distribution patterns and substrate affinities to a greater extent than previous studies in the same geographic area (e.g., Pike et al. 1975, Hawk et al. 1978, Binkley and Graham 1981).

阐明单一苔藓物种的分布与多度格局，是理解生态系统结构与功能、实施合理生态管理的必要基础。为深化对单一苔藓物种生态学特性的认知，本研究在俄勒冈州喀斯喀特山脉中西部、H.J.安德鲁斯实验森林（H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest）及其周边的林分中，针对林地表、倒木上表面以及树干基部的苔藓开展了调查。相较于该地理区域内既往的相关研究（如Pike等1975年、Hawk等1978年、Binkley与Graham 1981年的工作），本研究更为全面地量化了苔藓的局部分布格局与基质偏好性。
