In the context of global changes that modify the distribution range of species, there is an urgent need to identify climate variables affecting species dispersal. We investigated patterns of aerial propagule release (sexual and asexual) of boreal bryophytes in response to weather. We present the first community-level study that examines the impact of weather on the phenology of bryophytes, and we divided it into phases. Bryophyte propagule rain was trapped in 2013 (summer and fall) and 2014 (spring and fall), and climatic variables were collated from the years 2012 to 2014. The phases of the phenology and the weather variables one season to two years preceding propagule release, which may influence the dispersal of propagules, were identified. Propagule release varies with weather conditions at the time of dispersal (direct effects), but is also associated with weather during the winter and summer one year preceding dispersal (indirect effects), which presumably influences survival, growth, and fertilization of the mother plant as well as propagule and sporophyte development. We suggest that propagule release is related to weather conditions occurring from one to several previous seasons, particularly humidity, temperature, and length (duration) of winter. Dividing the phenology into phases, we present an innovative method that should provide new insights into bryophyte dispersal dynamics in response to climate.
