Epiphytes adapt to rainforest environments by developing specialized structures that allow them to thrive in limited soil and light conditions. They often have broad leaves to capture sunlight and can absorb moisture and nutrients directly from the air and rain through their leaves and roots. Additionally, many epiphytes have adaptations to store water, enabling them to survive periods of drought. Their growth patterns often involve clinging to tree branches to maximize light exposure while minimizing competition for ground resources.

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.
Yes, epiphytes can adapt to living in dry air by having specialized roots that can absorb moisture from the air or collect water when it is available, such as through dew or mist. These adaptations help epiphytes thrive in their unique habitat without needing to rely on soil for water and nutrients.
