Epiphytic angiosperms represent ca. 10% of the world's flowering plants and are key
elements in tropical forests. Here we synthesize the available literature on their population …

Vascular epiphytes represent c. 10% of all vascular plant species. In epiphytes, attachment
is essential for survival throughout consecutive ontogenetic stages of their life, starting …

Associations between epiphytes and their hosts are among the main factors affecting the
biodiversity and distribution of epiphytes. While several previous studies explored the …

Increasingly, homeowner associations and municipalities are requiring a certain percentage
of native trees and shrubs as part of any new landscape installation. These native species …

Orchidaceae is one of the most diverse and widespread groups of flowering plants. Despite
their immense ecological and socio-economic value, their spatial distribution across forest …

We studied the influence of site conditions on epiphytic orchids under a subtropical climate
in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. We analysed 96 systematically distributed grid points …

Despite their ecological importance, particularly in tropical rainforests, vascular epiphytes
are among the least studied plant groups. Theoretical knowledge about the composition …

Epiphytic orchids are common in subtropical forests, but little is known about the factors that
determine their diversity. We surveyed two sites (north-facing Phulchowki and south-facing …

Understanding the primary drivers of species diversity patterns and identifying critical places
for biodiversity protection are the two major concerns confronting the global conservation …

The survival chance of epiphytic orchids today not only depends on the natural site
conditions required by the orchids but also on anthropogenic changes in site conditions …
