TLDR
It can be stated that phytomass of epiphytic bryophytes in equatorial latitudes increases from the tropical lowlands to the foreslline by gradients of factors such as precipitation, humidity, temperature and desiccation, or combinations of these.About:

TL;DR: The first-ever worldwide checklist for liverworts and hornworts is presented that includes 7486 species in 398 genera representing 92 families from the two phyla, providing a valuable tool for taxonomists and systematists, analyzing phytogeographic and diversity patterns, aiding in the assessment of floristic and taxonomic knowledge, and identifying geographical gaps.

Will bryophytes survive in a warming world
TL;DR: This review synthesizes information about the influence of environmental factors on bryophytes to understand their relation to climate, especially to temperature on a global scale, and discusses a range of critical topics, including the responses of photosynthetic activities to temperature changes, and the consequences of temperature change on the interactions between bryophical and vascular-plants, as well as on peatland ecosystems.

TL;DR: In my opinion, the most crucial point is that students in tropical countries get not in contact with bryophytes, and mainly because of the lack of literature, which makes research difficult or even impossible in such countries.

Tropical Forest Bryophytes
TL;DR: The tropical forests were known for a long period simply as an inexhaustible El Dorado of new bryophyte species and we did not know much about their ecology as mentioned in this paper.

Nutrient scavenging of rainfall by the canopy of an Amazonian rain forest.

TL;DR: In this paper, it has been shown that nutrients are intercepted in the canopy by algae and lichens growing on leaf surfaces, resulting in nutrient conservation in this nutrient-limited ecosystem.
