Since research began in diatom ecology, scientists have focussed more on diatoms from aquatic habitats as opposed to aerial habitats. In this paper, we present the first dataset on diatoms from aerial habitats in the Indo-Burma hot spot. We have chosen the Blue Mountain region to collect tree mosses...
