Epiphytes, Macadamia, Cloud ForestAbstract
Epiphytes are representative groups of plants from the mountain cloud forest. This research was conducted in Tlalnehuayoan, Veracruz, Mexico, to identify epiphyte species richness in a macadamia nut crop. The area comprised 800 m2, where cover, canopy richness, frequency, and epiphyte location were estimated. Results found 22 epiphyte species. The most represented genus was Tillandsia, with 10 species. The highest frequency was recorded in the middle area of the canopy. It is concluded that epiphytes can colonize macadamia trees mainly in the denser regions.
