Voorbeelden van epiphyte

• Before an epiphyte was removed from the host tree, we enclosed it in a plastic bag to prevent highly mobile animals from escaping.

• In other words, successful establishment of these epiphytes is more likely in close vicinity to the parent plants.

• Because of its warm and continuously humid environment, epiphytes make up a conspicuous portion of this moist broadleaved evergreen forest.

• Proportions of epiphyte nutrient capital are presented in parentheses.

• Rainforest airconditioning: the moderating influence of epiphytes on the microclimate in tropical tree crowns.

• Such a spatial association is analogous to epiphyte ant-gardens in which the plants grow principally on arboreal ant nests.

• Closed, hatched line, vertical line and open indicate trees, herbs, climbers and epiphytes, respectively.

• In the lowland forests, some trees were nearly free of epiphytes while others were covered almost as densely as trees in the mountains.

• Longevity of fallen epiphytes in a neotropical montane forest.

• However, the frequency distribution of the leaf longevity of climbers and epiphytes overlapped with those of trees and herbs.

• Little is known, however, about epiphyte proliferation in disturbed forests.

• Was it true that the montane forest, swathed in epiphytes, was hardly ever exposed to drying air?

• We defined epiphytes as plants that spend most of their life cycle attached to other plants.

• Trees represented the most diverse life form (124 spp), followed by herbs (101 spp), lianas (85), shrubs (66), herbaceous climbers epiphytes (15) and parasites (two).

• Indeed, the upper portions of the fallow trees were almost devoid of epiphytes.
