Dominant Fungal Epiphytes Promote Growth of the Invasive Plant Ipomoea cairica Through Hormone Interactions
Plant growth-promoting microbial symbionts have been found in many plants, but their association with invasive plant Ipomoea cairica remains largely...

What is the role of topographic heterogeneity and climate on the distribution and conservation of vascular epiphytes in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest?
Map** diversity patterns is important to clarify its causes and is essential information for conservation policies. We map the distribution of...

Orchid epiphytes do not receive organic substances from living trees through fungi
Numerous studies of terrestrial orchids have demonstrated widespread partial mycoheterotrophy, particularly the possibility of obtaining organic...

Are vascular epiphytes in urban green areas subject to the homogenization of biodiversity? A case study in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest
Urbanization is a disturbance process that can select species and result in biodiversity homogenization. Despite this, urban green areas shelter...

Vascular epiphytes on licuri palms (Syagrus coronata (Mart.) Becc.) in a toposequence: Caatinga conservation indicator species
Epiphytism in the Caatinga biome is still poorly studied. In this biome, the licuri palm ( Syagrus coronata ) is an important phorophyte of several...

Functional effects of Polysiphonia sp. epiphytism on the farmed Kappaphycus alvarezii (Doty) Liao: Competition for the resource, parasitism or both?
Seaweed farming for the production of carrageenan is a growing economic activity. Like everywhere in the marine environment, farmed algae such as Kappa...

Large diameters and tree bark physical attributes drive vascular epiphyte-phorophyte relationships in Amazonian black-water floodplain forest
Understanding the interactive relationships between organisms is key to understanding community structure and planning appropriate conservation...

Could epiphytes be xenophobic? Evaluating the use of native versus exotic phorophytes by the vascular epiphytic community in an urban environment
Epiphytes enrich the vegetation cover and provide relevant ecosystem services, which are very important in the urban environment for mitigating air...

Bark traits affect epiphytic bryophyte community assembly in a temperate forest
Bark traits of trees often serve as a key factor determining the community structure of epiphytes. However, the extent to which barks modulate the...

Climate change might lead to substantial niche displacement in one of the most biodiverse regions in the world
Climatic niches are key factors driving global and regional species distributions. The Atlantic Forest domain is considered one of the most...

Experience of a Synthetic Approach to an Ecological Classification of Vascular Epiphytes
Abstract—On the basis of an investigation into epiphytic ferns and taking into account the literature data, information on ecological classifications...

Isolation of beneficial bacteria from strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa, Duch). Potentialities for fungal disease control and plant growth promotion
The main goal of this work was to isolate and characterize strawberry bacteria with the potential to protect plants from the attack by fungal...

Bird’s nest fern epiphytes facilitate herpetofaunal arboreality and climate refuge in two paleotropic canopies
In tropical forests, epiphytes increase habitat complexity and provision services rare to canopy environments, such as water retention, nutrient...

Surface roots as a new ecological zone for occurrence of vascular epiphytes: a case study on Pseudobombax trees on inselbergs
This study aimed to quantify the importance of surface roots as phorophyte ecological zones for vascular epiphytes in the lithophyte tree Pseudobombax ...

Epiphytic and endophytic bacteria on Camellia oleifera phyllosphere: exploring region and cultivar effect
The epiphytic and endophytic bacteria play an important role in the healthy growth of plants. Both plant species and growth environmental influence...

Large, old trees define the vertical, horizontal, and seasonal distributions of a poison frog
In tropical forests, large, old trees (LOTs) can be considered keystone structures for provisioning unique habitats such as decaying wood, roots,...

The cultivated genus Ulva, its pests, and defence
The genus Ulva is one of the most commonly commercially cultivated seaweeds both on land in ponds and in the open sea. As a crop, its cultivation is...

Effect of biosecurity practices and diseases on growth and carrageenan properties of Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheuma denticulatum cultivated in Zanzibar, Tanzania
Seaweed aquaculture biosecurity measures were implemented at the farm level to assess their effectiveness on the occurrence of diseases and...

One large tree crown can be defined as a local hotspot for plant species diversity in a forest ecosystem: a case study in temperate old-growth forest
Large, trees have survived for a long time, and their complex crown structure can serve as habitat for epiphytic plants. Canopy plants are not as...

Could ocean acidification influence epiphytism? A comparison of carbon-use strategies between Fucus vesiculosus and its epiphytes in the Baltic Sea
Reduced seawater pH due to elevated carbon dioxide (CO 2) , a process known as ocean acidification (OA), is a globally significant environmental issue....
