Putting vascular epiphytes on the traits map [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
1. Plant functional traits impact the fitness and environmental niche of plants. Major plant functional types have been characterized by their trait spectrum, and the environmental and phylogenetic imprints on traits have advanced several ecological ...

Putting vascular epiphytes on the traits map [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Plant functional traits impact the fitness and environmental niche of plants. Major plant functional types have been characterized by their trait spectrum, and the environmental and phylogenetic imprints on traits have advanced several ecological fields.

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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

Vascular Epiphyte Diversity Differs with Host Crown Zone and Diameter, but Not Orientation in a Tropical Cloud Forest. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Vascular epiphytes are important components of biological diversity in tropical forests. We measured the species richness and abundance of vascular epiphytes along four vertical crown zones and five horizontal orientations on 376 trees, as well as the ...

Analysis of diversity and functional traits of epiphytic lichens in Dagestan forests of different formations

open access: yesЮг России: экология, развитие, 2022
Aim. The structure of forest communities changes along the altitude gradient, which determines the composition of epiphytic lichens. The aim of the study is to compare the species composition and functional characteristics of epiphytic lichens in ...

Determinant factors for epiphyte-phorophyte interactions in patches of cloud forest within a matrix of campos rupestres [PDF]

open access: yesActa Botânica Brasílica
The epiphytic flora is influenced by the architecture and morpho-physiology of phorophytes. Our knowledge about the ecology of these communities remains limited, especially in the campos rupestres.

Analyis on the vascular epiphytes of tree ferns in a montane rain forest in Costa Rica

open access: yesRevista de Matemática: Teoría y Aplicaciones, 2009
The relationships between epiphytes and host specifity are known. We investigated the relation between specific epiphytes and tree fern trunks. Only some epiphytes are frequent or very frequent on tree ferns.

Epiphyte-phorophyte relationships: assessing the differences between Seasonal Semideciduous and Swamp Forests in Southeastern Brazil1

open access: yesHoehnea
Vascular epiphytes are responsible for a considerable portion of tropical biodiversity; however, the variation of epiphytes-phorophytes relationships in different vegetation types are still poorly understood.
