  • Beschreibung: Vascular epiphytes are non-parasitic plants that germinate and grow on trees without contact to the soil. Their arboreal life style implies a strong dependence on forest structure and dynamics. Tree architectures change constantly during ontogeny, and large and old branches of the inner crowns are generally more suitable for epiphyte colonization and survival than small branches of the outer crowns. In addition, microclimatic conditions within canopies, such as light, temperature or humidity, are directly influenced by forest structure. While the influence of such gradients within trees and...
