Transplantation experiments with Neckera pennata and Lobaria pulmonaria in nemoral woodland key habitat and managed forest

Abstract

Transplantation experiments with Neckera pennata and Lobaria pulmonaria were conducted in nemoral Woodland Key Habitat and managed forest (in total 38 trees) in Latvia. Elastic cotton bandage was the best method for the present transplantation experiments. Dispersal and establishment limitation were found to be crucial for N. pennata and L. pulmonaria distribution between forest stands.
