Nickel excess affects abundance of liverworts. (a,b) showing impacts of nickel (Ni) excess on the abundance of (a) Asterella wallichiana and (b) Plagiochasma appendiculatum in Ni-excess sites (NS, n = 5) compared with control sites (CS, n = 5) during January 2017 to December, 2017 in natural habitats under field conditions in quadrates (n = 10; 10 × 10 cm2/quadrat) laid on each of NS and CS, (c) principal component analysis showed impacts of Ni excess on variation in abundance of A. wallichiana and P. appendiculatum in natural habitats under field conditions in quadrates (n = 10; 10 × 10 cm2/quadrat) laid on each of NS (n = 5) and CS (n = 5). CS + Aw and CS + Pa denote control sites + A. wallichiana and P. appendiculatum, whereas NS + Aw and NS + Pa denote Ni excess sites + A. wallichiana and P. appendiculatum, respectively.
