Many of the smaller liverworts grew over or through the sward of larger bryophytes rather than adhering to the bark.

However,liverwortdiversity was scarcely lower in the fallows, except in the very young (4 y old) ones.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The meandering facies generally have greater abundance of liverworts and ferns (that is, moisture loving forms).
From theCambridge English Corpus
Our results are, however, consistent with the notion that mosses and liverworts strongly facilitate the establishment of seedlings of vascular epiphytes.

Many encyclopedic interests could be carried on in this way: growing ferns, mosses, or liverworts, for example.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Non-vascular species were recorded within 95 sample plots and totalled 2 2 mosses, 66 liverworts and 4 6 macrolichens.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The bryophyte flora is richer, comprising 134 moss orliverwortspecies.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The associated floristic differences include an increase in cover of mosses and crustose lichens in the upper ridge and a decrease inliverwortcover.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The remaining bark was mostly covered with crustose lichens, but we also observed smaller mosses and liverworts (< 2 mm height) or algae.
From theCambridge English Corpus
The pendants - pendulous forms - were conspicuous but represented in our samples by only four moss and oneliverwortspecies.

This paper focuses on bryophytes (mosses, liverworts) in tropical rain forests and deals with the question of how deforestation and forest regeneration affect the diversity of these organisms.
From theCambridge English Corpus
In the non-vascular subplot, collective cover values f or mosses, liverworts, macrolichens and crustose lichens were recorded in the field, and mean thickness of the non-vascular layer.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Biota includes algal crusts and felts (11 species), bryophytes (one species of moss and one ofliverwort), a protozoan, and a range of microflora.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Lejeuneaceae (liverworts; 32 species) were the largest family, representing 40% of all the bryophyte species recorded.
From theCambridge English Corpus
There are a number of other rare plants, including the rare downy willow, as well as mosses and liverworts.
