Abstract
Abstract Fine-scale variation in corticolous bryophyte communities was examined on the lower trunk of Antarctic beech (Nothofagus moorei) trees within microphyll fern forests of south-east Queensland. Analysis of the variation revealed that the composition and structure of the community altered with both the height above ground level and the direction of exposure. Patterns of distribution were thought to primarily reflect changes in the moisture availability on and around the basal trunk of Nothofagus moorei trees and the degree of desiccation tolerance exhibited by the various taxa.
