Vascular epiphytes are a diverse and conspicuous component of biodiversity in tropical and subtropical forests. Yet, the patterns and drivers of epiphyte assemblages are poorly studied in comparison with soil‐rooted plants. Current knowledge about diversity patterns of epiphytes mainly stems from local studies or floristic inventories, but this information has not yet been integrated to allow a better...
We studied species richness and community composition as well as the vertical distribution of ferns and lycophytes in three forest types along an elevational gradient in the region of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico. We established 23 plots of 20m x 20m at 150–1650m, recording presence-absence of all species in eight vertical distribution zones (terrestrial and seven epiphytic zones). We found 84 species, including...
We studied species richness, composition, and vertical distribution of vascular epiphytes at two sites in the Bolivian Andes. To account for the epiphyte flora on understory trees, epiphytes on shrubs and small trees were sampled in 20 × 20 m2 subplots around each sampled canopy tree; this understory zone U is introduced as an addition to the well-established five vertical Johansson tree zones.
