| samplingProtocol |
The sampling protocol used to capture the species. Detailed description of the sampling methodology in the field. Two plots of 10 m × 10 m (P1, P2), were set out at the best-preserved areas of native vegetation sites, every 200 m elevation, across an elevation gradient from coastal areas to Pico summit. Each plot was subdivided into 25 quadrats (2 m × 2 m), from which three were randomly selected for the collection of bryophyte species. Within each quadrat, bryophytes were collected in small sampling units (microplots of 10 cm × 5 cm), obtaining, whenever possible, three replicates per surveyed substrate (RU, rock, TE, soil, HU, humus, LI, dead wood, T, bark at three heights from the tree [a, 1-50 cm; b, 51-100 cm; c, 101-200 cm], LF, leaves/fronds). |
