Effects of climate on population dynamics might therefore be best understood as a combination of direct effects & effects mediated by competitive interactions. We therefore need to include both types to reliably assess how species abundances and distributions will respond to a changing climate.

We transplanted 2 moss species with different climate niches (one "warm" species, one "cold" species), together & alone across a latitudinal gradient in 🇸🇪. When growing alone both species responded positively to warmer 🌡️, but this reversed for the cold species when growing next to the warm species.

We have summed up the importance of bryophytes for ecological research, difficulties existing for ECRs to pursue a bryophyte focused research career & what we & the ecological society can do about it
