Factors influencing the distribution of pteridophytes in a southeastern Ohio hardwood forest

Phytosociological and environmental analyses of the pteridophyte community of a mixed-mesophytic forest in southeastern Ohio were used to evaluate the influences of major environmental gradients on species distribution and community structure. The community was dominated by Adiantum pedatum, Aspleni...

Description
Summary:Phytosociological and environmental analyses of the pteridophyte community of a mixed-mesophytic forest in southeastern Ohio were used to evaluate the influences of major environmental gradients on species distribution and community structure. The community was dominated by Adiantum pedatum, Asplenium platyneuron, Botrychium dissectum, B. virginianum, Deparia acrostichoides, Diplazium pycnocarpon, Polystichum acrostichoides, and Thelypteris hexagonoptera. The first two axes of a detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) captured
