Bromeliad catchments as habitats for methanogenesis in tropical rainforest canopies

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2011
Tropical epiphytic plants within the family Bromeliaceae are unusual in that they possess foliage capable of retaining water and impounded material. This creates an acidic (pH 3.5-6.5) and anaerobic (< 1 ppm O2) environment suspended in the canopy ...

Leaf hydraulic conductance for a tank bromeliad: axial and radial pathways for moving and conserving water

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Plants in the Bromeliaceae known as tank bromeliads essentially lack stems and absorptive roots and instead take up water from reservoirs formed by their overlapping leaf bases.

Patterns of calcium oxalate crystals in young tropical leaves: a possible role as an anti-herbivory defense

Revista de Biología Tropical, 1999
Calcium oxalate crystal formation and leaf toughness were measured and compared in five species, (Cyclanthus subpalmata, Pandanus leram, Crinum amabile, Heliconia longiflora and Guzmania zahnii) pre-selected for known leaf raphide production and ...
