Bryophyte Life Forms on Slopes of Contrasting Exposures in Central New Jersey

1. The tree, shrub, and moss layers of the north and south facing slope studied are materially different. 2. The arborescent layer of the south facing slope shows an affinity with the southern oak-hickory forest, while on the north facing slope it exhibits an affinity with the northern-hardwood fore...

description 1. The tree, shrub, and moss layers of the north and south facing slope studied are materially different. 2. The arborescent layer of the south facing slope shows an affinity with the southern oak-hickory forest, while on the north facing slope it exhibits an affinity with the northern-hardwood forest. These trends are further exemplified in individual species reproduction. 3. The shrub layers are comparable to that found by Cantlon (1953) on Cushetunk Mountain, New Jersey. 4. The north facing slope exhibits a higher cover, greater number of species, and a larger number of bryophytic growth forms. Microclimatic differences are reflected both in terms of number of species and variety of bryophytic growth forms.
