- •
We tested environmental factors and traits of vascular flora colonising decaying logs.
- •
Decaying logs were colonised by 46 species, that can be classified into six clusters.
- •
Localisation and site conditions of logs are more important factor than their traits.
- •
Plants differ in their response to dead wood traits mainly decomposition and log size.
- •
Changes in vegetation along the altitudinal gradient played the most crucial role.
