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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Fungi in neotropical epiphyte roots
Biosystems, 1989Roots of thirty-eight Ecuadoran vascular epiphytes, representing eleven angiosperm families, were examined for the presence of symbiotic microorganisms. Most orchid roots contained fungal endophytes like those that regularly infect terrestrial counterparts.

[Fog water absorption by the leaves of epiphytes and non - epiphytes in Xishuangbanna].
Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2007Xishuangbanna is located at the northern margin of tropics. Its climate is different from that of typical tropics, but the rainforest there is not very different from that of the typical tropics in Southeast Asia. The main problems in Xishuangbanna are seasonal drought and low temperature.

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.

Epiphytic microorganisms and IAA synthesis
Planta, 1968Epiphytic microorganisms present on cotton plants synthesized 3-indoleacetic acid (IAA) from tryptophan. Microorganisms from the root zone synthesized 3 times the amount of IAA when compared with the shoot zone and the root zone contained a much higher number of microorganisms. IAA-synthesizing activity was eliminated when the tissues were treated with
