Epiphytes of Seagrasses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In all aquatic environments, available surfaces are rapidly colonized by a variety of organisms. If these organisms grow on plants they are called epiphytes. Seagrasses provide an excellent substratum for epiphytic organisms and these organisms are an integral component of seagrass ecosystems.

Vascular epiphytes contribute disproportionately to global centres of plant diversity

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, 2022
Aim Vascular epiphytes are ubiquitous components of wet tropical forests where they contribute substantially to local and regional plant diversity. While some basic epiphyte distribution patterns are relatively well studied, little effort has been made ...

Vascular epiphytes in Argentinian Yungas: distribution, diversity, and ecology

open access: yesBotanical Review, The, 2022
Vascular epiphytes are an important component of the flora of subtropical regions, but they remain understudied compared to tropical regions. Subtropical montane region of Yungas in Argentina has high epiphyte diversity, but information on epiphytes ...

Neglected epiphytism: Accidental epiphytes dominate epiphytic communities on tree ferns in the Atlantic Forest

Biotropica, 2021
AbstractVascular epiphytes and tree ferns constitute an important part of the Atlantic Forest structure. We characterized vascular epiphyte communities on two tree fern species (Alsophila setosa Kaulf. and Cyathea phalerata Mart.) including accidental epiphytes (i.e., species that are usually terrestrial, without necessarily completing their life cycle

Drought resistance does not explain epiphytic abundance of accidental epiphytes

open access: yesPlant Ecology and Diversity, 2020
Background: 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 ...

Using Epiphyte Litter to Estimate Epiphyte Biomass

The Bryologist, 1994
To 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 ...

Epiphytism at the Cellular Level with Special Reference to Algal Epiphytes

1984
There 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 ...

A field experiment links forest structure and biodiversity: epiphytes enhance canopy invertebrates in Chilean forests

open access: yesEcosphere, 2012
Epiphytes represent a conspicuous component of the canopy of old-growth forests, reaching biomass values of up to 44 t/ha. Forest epiphytes host a rich invertebrate community; however, the contribution of epiphytes to the richness and abundance of canopy

Epiphytic Lives

Social Text, 2023
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 ...
