Tropical forests harbour the highest levels of terrestrial biodiversity and represent some of
the most complex ecosystems on Earth, with a significant portion of this diversity above …

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 …

Although increasing efforts are being made to restore tropical forests, little information is
available regarding the time scales required for carbon and plant biodiversity to recover to …

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 …

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 …

La vegetación en Monteverde tiene dos características que observan los visitantes de forma

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 …

Water relations represent a pivotal nexus in plant biology due to the multiplicity of functions
affected by water status. Hydraulic properties of plant parts are therefore likely to be relevant …

Las epífitas vasculares son plantas que crecen sobre otras plantas, principalmente en las
copas de los árboles. Incluyen especies de aráceas, bromelias, helechos, orquídeas y …
