Epiphytes are strongly dependent on the conditions created by their host's traits and a certain degree of specificity is expected between them, even if these species are largely abundant in a series of tree hosts of a given ...

The use of remote sensing to estimate forest structure has been largely tested but few researches have related such information about canopy closure in tropical forests in steep slope. This work aims to analyze the ...

Closed-canopy rainforests are important for climate (influencing atmospheric circulation, albedo, carbon storage, etc.) and ecology (harboring the highest biodiversity of continental regions). Of all rainforests, Amazonia ...

Disruptions in species interactions derived from forest fragmentation are a major driver of biodiversity declines. Atmospheric bromeliads, a group of extreme epiphytes in the Tillandsia genus, often thrive in anthropogenic ...

We studied density, size structure, and establishment sites of Coussapoa microcarpa in the Brazilian Atlantic rain forest. This species is a hemiepiphyte that begins its life in the tops of trees and survives the death of ...

The forests management and conservation are recently subjects discussed throughout the world, because they are directly correlation with the maintenance of environmental functions and services provided by natural environments. ...

Canopy fuel load (CFL) affects wildfire intensity and is a critical input for fire behaviour models; however, measuring CFL in the field is time-consuming and costly. Until recently, hemispherical photographs have been ...
