“…Knowledge of the conservation status of bryophytes and lichens is still scarce, and usually their distribution is less well documented than that of the vascular plants. In the last 20 years, in the European dry habitats, numerous projects studied the biodiversity patterns and functional role of lichens and bryophytes [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 ]. Lichen- and bryophyte-rich dry habitats, in spite of being fragmented by anthropogenic activities, can still reach a rather large extent [ 33 , 34 ].…”
