Other claims from this paper (5)
- Association Host tree diameter at breast height was the strongest significant explanatory variable for epiphyte abundance and species richness.
- Association Epiphyte diversity was higher on Schima wallichii than Quercus lanata.
- Association Epiphyte diversity was particularly high on trunks below forks.
- Recommendation The authors recommend conserving old-growth host trees through community approaches to conserve epiphyte diversity.
- Mechanism Maintained large and old stands may enable community forests to host diverse vascular epiphytes.
