Post fire observations showed that as moss cover degrades, the number of vegetation micro-groups decreases, and both the ratio among dominant species and their coenotic role change in light and dark coniferous forests with green moss, which are remarkable for a pronounce d mosaic of living ground cover. Against the background of highly dynamic succession processes, communities tend to lose species and that can eventually lead to a decrease in ground vegetation diversity.
