Small plants, large plants: the importance of plant size for the physiological ecology of vascular epiphytes.

Journal of experimental botany - 1 Oct 2001

Zotz G, Hietz P, Schmidt G

Abstract excerpt

Recently, a number of publications have reported that many physiological properties of vascular epiphytes are a function of plant size. This short review will summarize what is known to date about this phenomenon, describe the possible mechanism and will discuss the consequences for the present understanding of epiphyte biology. Size-related changes are also known from other plant groups and it is argued that...
