Bryophytes are widely distributed and constitute an important part in vegetation diversity. More than 20,000 species of bryophytes are found worldwide. Bryophytes play important roles in the ecosystem, particularly in water balance and nutrient accumulation. However, bryophytes are smaller than vascular plants and are often ignored in ecological studies. Spatial patterns of species diversity along the elevation gradient are of great significance in illuminating community ecology. What is the distribution pattern of bryophyte species diversity along an elevation gradient? We do not find the related
