Epiphyte diversity and biomass loads of canopy emergent trees in Chilean temperate rain forests: A neglected functional component (2010, background): “Roots of the hemi-epiphyte descended to the ground, resembling strangler figs of tropical forests (Zotz, 2005; Armesto et al., 1996b; Gutiérrez et al., 2008a; Fig.”
The systematic distribution of vascular epiphytes – a critical update (2013, background): “, all species which can be occasionally found in wetter forests growing on old trees with accumulations of organic material (Zotz, 2005).”
Plants on Plants – The Biology of Vascular Epiphytes (2016, background): “The most diverse region in respect to vascular epiphytes in the north-temperate zone are the Himalayas, but locally abundant epiphyte populations are also documented for temperate East Asia, the Caucasus, in montane forests in Central Europe, the British Isles, several Atlantic islands, and northwes”
Diversity patterns of vascular epiphytes along an elevational gradient in the Andes (2005, background): “In humid temperate regions, ferns are the most common vascular epiphytes (Zotz, 2005), while in dry tropical regions ferns, along with drought-tolerant bromeliads, reach furthest into arid habitats (Ibisch, 1996).”
