recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Oecologia"

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04570-2

Abstract: In tropical forests, epiphytes increase habitat complexity and provision services rare to canopy environments, such as water retention, nutrient cycling, and microclimate refuge. These services facilitate species diversity and coexistence in terrestrial ecosystems, and while their utility… read more here.
