Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Liverwort species lacking underground axes regenerated most at the peat surface and not below 9 cm.
- Observation The depth patterns occurred on both live Sphagnum covered and older recolonized peat surfaces.
- Mechanism Regeneration appears mainly to arise from underground axes rather than spores or gemmae.
- Observation The underground axes appeared to have large biomass.
- Observation All underground axes had fungal associates.
