O Dossel é um ecossistema complexo e ecologicamente diverso, possuindo espécies,
nichos e processos próprios. Dentre as diversas formas de vida que o compõem, destaca …

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 …

Epiphytes have been called particularly vulnerable to climate change because of their
existence at the interface of vegetation and atmosphere. We review the available evidence …

As indicated in the introductory chapter to this book, knowledge of tropical montane cloud
forest (TMCF) occurrence, biodiversity, hydrology, and ecological functioning has increased …

Epiphytes are diverse and important elements of tropical forests, but as canopy‐dwelling
organisms, they are highly vulnerable to deforestation. To assess the effect of deforestation …

Un elemento clave para favorecer un manejo forestal sustentable es conocer las
compensaciones, sinergias y relaciones de los servicios ecosistémicos generados por los …

Epiphytic biomass, canopy humus and associated canopy water storage capacity are known
to vary greatly between old-growth tropical montane cloud forests but for regenerating …

The high richness of epiphytes in moist tropical montane forests is continuously decreasing
due to deforestation and habitat loss. Lichens and bryophytes are important components of …

We sampled the diversity of epiphytes (lichens, bryophytes, vascular plants) and moths
(Geometridae, Arctiidae) in mature and recovering forest and in open vegetation in the …

Although vascular epiphytes contribute substantially to the biodiversity of tropical montane
forests, it is unclear how their diversity and community composition is affected by forest …
