Canopy leaf area index at its higher end: dissection of structural controls from leaf to canopy scales in bryophytes

What is it about?

The current study highlights a huge structural diversity among moss canopies, but also indicates that canopies converge to a much narrower range of LAI due to limited trait combinations. Canopy structural diversity is strongly associated with species ecological requirements, and moss canopy structure needs consideration in assessing moss functional activity.
