Tropical forest disturbances reveal increase in stress-tolerant(s) strategy among epiphytes while simplifying the taxonomic and layer structure of epiphytic communities [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
One of the most popular approaches in functional plant ecology is the study of CSR strategies based on Grime’s theory. However, this approach to the study of epiphytes has not been used yet. We assumed that the response of epiphytes to disturbances would

Exploring Co-Occurrence Patterns to Understand Epiphyte–Liana Interactions [PDF]

Plants
Although epiphytes and lianas share the same habitat, most research has treated these two groups independently. This study aimed to evaluate the co-occurrence of vascular epiphytes and lianas in the subtropical montane forests of northwestern Argentina ...

Epiphytes modulate Posidonia oceanica photosynthetic production, energetic balance, antioxidant mechanisms and oxidative damage

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015
Epiphytes impose physical barriers to light penetration into seagrass leaves causing shading, which may decrease the production of oxygen reactive species (ROS), but also constitute a physical aggression that may trigger the production of ROS, leading to

Endophytic and Epiphytic Microorganisms as Biocontrol Agents: Mechanisms, Applications, and Metagenomic Approaches in Tomato Cultivation [PDF]

Molecules
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is an essential crop worldwide, yet it remains highly vulnerable to severe fungal and bacterial diseases. Traditional chemical-based disease management strategies, aimed at controlling these diseases face increasing scrutiny,

Drought resistance does not explain epiphytic abundance of accidental epiphytes

Plant Ecology and Diversity, 2020
Accidental epiphytism is common among vascular plants in forest ecosystems around the globe. A frequent observation in surveys of accidental epiphytes is the occurrence of few species with high epiphytic abundance, while most co-occurring terrestrial species are rarely found as epiphytes. Based on the general assumption that water is the major limiting

Marine Bromophenols from Laminaria hyperborea’s Epiphytic Biomass: Chemical Profiling, Cytotoxicity, and Antioxidant Activity [PDF]

Marine Drugs
The epiphytic community of Laminaria hyperborea, dominated by red algae, is typically discarded during industrial processing despite its potential as a source of high-value natural products.

Floristic composition and diversity of epiphytes in Farante Forest, Sodo Zuria District, Wolaita Zone, Southern Ethiopia

Journal of Science and Inclusive Development, 2023
Although epiphytes play a significant role in the functioning of forest ecosystems, their ecological importance has often given less attention. The objective of this study was to assess the floristic composition and diversity of epiphytes in the Farante ...

Composition and Distribution of Vascular Epiphytes in Different Areas in Obafemi Awolowo, Nigeria

Notulae Scientia Biologicae, 2014
Composition and distribution of vascular epiphytes were studied in three different areas at Obafemi Awolowo University estate, Nigeria. Each plot, in the selected area, was used for identification of host and epiphytes.

Temperature Effects on Leaf and Epiphyte Photosynthesis, Bicarbonate Use and Diel O2 Budgets of the Seagrass Zostera marina L.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Ocean warming along with nutrient enrichment are major stressors causing global seagrass decline. While the effects of global warming on metabolic parameters in seagrasses are well described, the effect of increasing temperature on the epiphytic ...

Successional forests stages influence the composition and diversity of vascular epiphytes communities from Andean Montane Forests

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Vascular epiphytes layer is an important component of the forests; to understand their contribution to the ecosystem, it is imperative to assess the factors which affect their distribution, composition, and diversity.
