The influence of tree architecture, forest remnants, and dispersal syndrome on roadside epiphyte diversity in a highly urbanized tropical environment

2015-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Urban environments generally have reduced biodiversity, nevertheless they may contribute to biodiversity conservation. The presence of epiphytes on urban trees indicates viability of urban areas as repositories of biodiversity; however the influence of biophysical and local habitat variables on the occurrence and diversity of epiphytes on urban trees has not been studied. Epiphytes were surveyed on 1170 roadside A...
