Seedling establishment of vascular epiphytes on isolated and enclosed forest trees in an Andean landscape, Ecuador

2008-12-01

Abstract excerpt

The impact of human disturbance on colonisation dynamics of vascular epiphytes is poorly known. We studied abundance, diversity and floristic composition of epiphyte seedling establishing on isolated and adjacent forest trees in a tropical montane landscape. All vascular epiphytes were removed from plots on the trunk bases of Piptocoma discolor. Newly established epiphyte seedlings were recorded after 2 years, and...
