How do you calculate density from surface area per m2 and number of species ie density of epiphytes per m2 of trunk from having the surface area of the trunk and number of epiphytes on it?
To calculate the density of epiphytes per m2 of trunk, you would divide the number of epiphytes by the surface area of the trunk in square meters. This would give you the number of epiphytes per square meter of trunk. Density = Number of epiphytes / Surface area of trunk.
Which would be an adaptation in a rainforest but not in a tundra?
A beak that can dig into thick trees.- apex :D
Where can you buy epiphytes?
Certain mosses, most orchids, and most bromeliads fall into this group of plants. You should be able to find them at better garden stores in your area.

What stops epiphytes from growing?
Water, nutrients, and the movement of animals limit the growth of epiphytes.-The major limiting factor for epiphytes is moisture. The less water in the environment (rain, fog, and mist) the less epiphytes grow in there. This is why they are most abundant in number and diversity in cloud forests and rainforests (tropical and temperate).-Available nutrients can be a limiting factor but epiphytes have many adaptations to compensate for this such as roots that capture organic debris such as leaves and animal waste. Many nutrients such as phosphorus, iron, and nitrogen can be readily absorbed from the air and rain. Other plants have symbiotic relationships with fungi or animals where they can gain nutrients.-It is also proposed that animals, such as monkeys, traveling along regular routes in the canopy branches aid in keeping them overburdened with epiphytes. This may be due to them trampling the plants and knocking off the needed organic matter and epiphyte seeds.
