Aim Considering the importance of microclimate in maintaining the diversity of epiphytic bryophytes, we investigated epiphytic bryophytes along an elevational gradient in the subtropical forest of eastern China to unravel the diversity patterns of epiphytic liverworts and mosses along the elevational gradients and the roles of forest microclimates, topographic variables and host plant composition attributes in shaping these el...

The fault fracture body, consisting of faults, fracture zones, cracks, and the matrix, plays a crucial role in controlling oil and gas accumulation. Understanding its spatial distribution and analyzing the in situ stress field are essential for optimizing well design and fracturing operations. This study integrates geological, logging, and seismic data, and employs advanced techniques such as ant tracking to establish a skelet...
