Epiphytes as "filter-drinkers": life-form changes across a fog gradient
Harvesting of fog water by epiphytes is biomechanically analogous to filter-feeding by aquatic invertebrates. Increased branchiness, as measured by fractal dimensionality, should reflect greater fogharvesting ability. We documented changes in epiphytic macrolichens across an altitudinal gradient in...
