Epiphyte species list of Watershed 10, Andrews Experimental Forest, 1970 to 1972

Using direct-aid climbing techniques for sampling trunks and branch systems, we found 74 species of lichens and 32 species of bryophytes growing as epiphytes in a 450-year-old Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon. This data is based on sampling designed to provide estimates of epiphyte biomass per hectare of forest to be used in ecosystem modeling.

本研究采用直接辅助攀爬技术对树干及枝条系统开展采样，在美国俄勒冈州西部一片450年树龄的花旗松（Douglas-fir）林中共发现74种地衣（lichen）与32种苔藓植物（bryophyte）以附生植物（epiphyte）的形式生长。本数据集源自为获取可用于生态系统建模的每公顷森林附生生物量估算值而设计的采样工作。
