  • Variability of Bryophytes and Lichens on a Forested Coastal Dune Tõotusemägi in Southwestern Estonia
    Forestry Studies|Metsanduslikud Uurimused 49, 71–80, 2008 DOI: 10.2478/v10132-011-0064-z Variability of bryophytes and lichens on a forested coastal dune Tõotusemägi in Southwestern Estonia Helen Kösta1* and Mari Tilk2 Kösta, H., Tilk, M. 2008. Variability of bryophytes and lichens on a forested coastal dune Tõotusemägi in Southwestern Estonia. – Forestry Studies | Metsanduslikud Uurimused 49, 71–80. ISSN 1406-9954. Abstract. Bryophytes and lichens are important in all dry land ecosystems due to their ability to colonize different substrates which are not suitable for vascular plants. They have an important role in vertebrates and invertebrate’s food chain and function as a habitat for invertebrates. Nitrogen and carbon cycles in the forest depend greatly on the local bryophyte and lichen flora. The aim of present study was to investigate the frequency and variety of differ- ent species of bryophytes and lichens on the forested sand dune Tõotusemägi. The study was carried out on a 183 m long transect running on the western slope of the dune. Identification of bryophyte and lichen species was carried out and zonality of forest ground vegetation was demonstrated. Species were observed on the ground, on litter, on stumps and on trees. On the slope, 26 bryophyte species and 38 lichen species were registered. Dominating bryo- phyte species were Pleurozium schreberi (Brid.) Mitt., Hylocomium splendens (Hedw.) Schimp., Polytrichum juniperinum Hedw., Polytrichum piliferum Hedw, Dicranum polysetum Sw., Dicranum scoparium Hedw. Dominating lichen spe- cies were Cladina rangiferina (L.) Nyl., Cladina arbuscula (Wallr.) Hale & W. L. Culb., Cladonia furcata (Huds.) Schrad, Cetraria islandica (L.) Ach.
