Epiphytism at the Cellular Level with Special Reference to Algal Epiphytes
1984There are two kinds of habitat where the limiting factor for plant development is the availability of a place in sufficient light, (1) the forests of the tropics, and (2) the littoral zone of lakes and in the intertidal zone of the sea. It is therefore in these places that we find the greatest development of one class of plants which struggles for ...

Using Epiphyte Litter to Estimate Epiphyte Biomass
The Bryologist, 1994To estimate epiphyte biomass in tallforests, the only viable alternative to tree climbing methods is to sample litterfall. To evaluate the potentialfor using epiphyte litter to estimate epiphyte biomass, epiphyte litter and in situ epiphyte biomass were estimated independently in each of three Pseudotsuga-Tsuga heterophylla stands in the Cascade Range ...

AbstractThis essay troubles the application of Marianne Hirsch's concept of “postmemory” to the Cambodian postwar generation's relationship to the Khmer Rouge regime and the war, instead proposing the term “nonmemory” as a description of what we who are not survivors of that war tend to understand as an absence of narrative regarding the war and the ...

Epiphytes existed in forests and other vegetation long before the advent of human civilization and the current human domination of the globe. As part of the forest, epiphytes were affected by human activities without being the actual target, e.g., when slash-and-burn agriculture was used for subsistence.

Epiphytes (plants which grow on other plants, not parasitically but for support), comprise more than one-third of the total vascular flora in some tropical forests. Growing within tropical forest canopies, epiphytes are subject to severe environmental constraints, and their diverse adaptations make them a rich resource for studies of water balance ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Section B. Biological Sciences, 1984
SynopsisThe general environmental factors controlling the epiphytic vegetation on birch are discussed, as is the physio-chemical nature of birch bark as a substratum for epiphytes (especially lichens). In terms of species diversity, birch is found to be a poor host (phorophyte) for epiphytes and various reasons (e.g. low bark pH) for this are suggested.

The evolution of epiphytism in the broadest sense and its emergence in specific taxa have received considerable attention, beginning with Schimper’s (1888) classic and insightful Die epiphytische Vegetation A merikas. Agreement remains elusive, however (e.g., Pittendrigh 1948; Benzing et al.

Comparison of the heavy metal bioaccumulation capacity of an epiphytic moss and an epiphytic lichen
Environmental Pollution, 2008This study compared the heavy metal bioaccumulation capacity in the epiphytic moss Scorpiurum circinatum and the epiphytic lichen Pseudevernia furfuracea, exposed in bags for 3 months in the urban area of Acerra (S Italy). The content of Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Ti, V, and Zn was measured by ICP-MS.
