Vascular Epiphytism: Taxonomic Participation and Adaptive Diversity

Vascular epiphytes carci few qualities beyond occurrence in tree crowns that identify them as a those of terrestrials native to comparably arid or infertile sites.Moisture supply, m arily because their phylogenetic origins and life styles in forest canopies feature, determines where a particular type of epiphyte will survive.Epiphytes constitute about 10% orchids for epiphytism are identified.R families in tree crowns are less clear, but some possibilities are offered.relations and, Bm mineral nutrition may explain why epiphytism has rarely, if ever, preceded branch parasiti
