Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Ten liverwort taxa and one moss species were found as epiphylls on Rhododendron maximum.
- Observation The Kentucky sites are the northernmost documented bryophyte epiphyll sites in eastern North America.
- Observation Three liverwort endemics and a moss were newly reported as epiphylls.
- Observation Epiphyll colony diameter ranged from under 0.1 mm to 20 mm.
- Observation No one-year-old leaves supported bryoepiphylls.
- Observation 8.9% of two-year-old leaves supported epiphylls.
- Observation 13.3% of three-year-old leaves supported epiphylls.
- Observation The authors infer that bryoepiphylly frequency and northern limits are underestimated in eastern North America.
