“…The islands of Fiji represent areas of varying geological ages and history and provide a promising venue for the study of biogeographical patterns of selected cryptogam groups. Bryophyte species composition and their distribution over time have been used in the past to determine the size and shape of forest patches necessary for the maintenance of interior forest conditions (Sillet et al 1995) and as potential indicators of large scale changes to an ecosystem (Gignac 2001). Field programs in Fiji could also contribute to exploring the functional role of cryptogams in tropical ecosystems, their use and application as bioindicators of forest degradation, land use change, and conservation.…”

“…Untersuchungen in Bergregenwäldern stammen größtenteils aus Costa Rica: So stellten Sillett et al (1995) erstmals einen Vergleich zwischen der epiphytischen Moosdiversität von Primärwald und freistehenden Bäumen auf Weideland in der montanen Stufe an, Merwin et al (2001) bezogen außerdem Sekundärwald mit ein und Holz (2003) verglich Primärwald und verschieden alte Stadien von Sekundärwald im hochmontanen Bereich, unter Berücksichtigung von epiphytischen Moosen und Makroflechten. Sillett et al (1995), Pinheiro da Costa (1999) und Merwin et al (2001) wiesen einen deutlichen Artenverlust mit zunehmender anthropogener Beeinflussung nach.…”

“…Sillett et al (1995), Pinheiro da Costa (1999) und Merwin et al (2001) wiesen einen deutlichen Artenverlust mit zunehmender anthropogener Beeinflussung nach. Holz (2003) stellte hingegen fest, dass Sekundärwälder nicht zwangsläufig eine geringere Diversität aufweisen müssen als Primärwälder.…”
