The Brazilian Northeastern Brejos is an important area of biodiversity in the Atlantic Forest. However, little known about species composition epiphytes this type vegetation. present study aims to characterize floristic and phytosociological structure vascular epiphytic components Brejo. All occurring were collected compared with other studies through NMDS analysis. For epiphyte structure, sixt...

Trait matching between interacting species may foster diversity. Thus, high epiphyte diversity in tropical forests be partly due to the of trees and some degree host specificity. However, possible trait is basically unexplored. Since epiphytic habitat poses particular challenges plants, their correlations should differ from terrestrial but what extent unclear as epiphytes are underrepresented o...

This paper describes a novel archaeological resource--preserved epiphytes on the timber structure of vernacular buildings--used, to our knowledge, for the first time to quantify a loss of biodiversity between pre-industrial and post-industrial landscapes. By matching the confirmed occurrence of epiphyte species for the pre-industrial period, with a statistical likelihood for their absence in th...

Epiphytes are one of the most diversified plant life forms, whose species richness peaks in tropics and subtropics. Here we examined vertical distribution metrics (i.e., number epiphyte individuals richness) vascular epiphytes orchids ferns) on two dominant host trees Schima wallichii (DC.) Korth. Quercus lanata Sm.) sub-tropical forests Nepal. We sampled a total 72 Q. S. from forest sites: gov...

This brief research focused on the incidence of ice-ice diseases (IID) and epiphyte infestation (EI) in cultured seaweeds (Kappaphycus spp.), identifying a doable strategy to prevent early development outbreaks. An assessment prevalence IID EI was carried out 29 seaweed farms, taking notes stage culture current farming practice. The findings revealed that onset occurs during stages out-planting...

Ferns (Pteridophyta) have a high diversity of species and are able to live in variety environmental conditions. an ecological function (ground cover, producer, bioindicator) economically (as food, medicine, crafts). The Jurang Nganten Waterfall Jepara Regency is tourist attraction as well source irrigation for rice fields gardens. study aims find out how the fern Tourism Area. research was cond...
