Book Description
"Ephiphytes, vines and mistletoes area a spectacular part of New Zealand's unique forests. Epiphytes perch on other plants without taking resources while mistletoes remove water and nutrients from their hosts and vines climb high up trees to reach canopy sunlight. This field guide provides up-to-date descriptions of each epiphyte, vine and mistletoe species with photographs and clues for identification." -- Back cover.

Vascular Epiphytes
Author: David H. Benzing
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521048958
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
This synthesis of the growing body of information from research on epiphytes and their relations with other tropical biota provides a comprehensive overview of basic functions, life history, evolution, and the place of epiphytes in complex tropical communities. Epiphytes comprise more than one-third of the tropical vascular flora in some tropical forests. Growing within tropical forest canopies, epiphytes are subject to severe environmental constraints, and their diverse adaptations make them a rich resource for studies of water balance, nutrition, reproduction and evolution.

Plants on Plants – The Biology of Vascular Epiphytes
Author: Gerhard Zotz
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319392379
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
This book critically reviews advances in our understanding of the biology of vascular epiphytes since Andreas Schimper’s 1888 seminal work. It addresses all aspects of their biology, from anatomy and physiology to ecology and evolution, in the context of general biological principles. By comparing epiphytes with non-epiphytes throughout, it offers a valuable resource for researchers in plant sciences and related disciplines. A particular strength is the identification of research areas that have not received the attention they deserve, with conservation being a case in point. Scientists have tended to study pristine systems, but global developments call for information on epiphytes in human-disturbed systems and the response of epiphytes to global climate change.
