An epiphyte is a plant that grows upon another plant (such as a tree) non-parasitically or sometimes upon some other object (such as a building or a ...

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.
Epiphytes are plants that grow on other plants, typically trees, without drawing nutrients from them. They have specialized adaptations such as aerial roots for water and nutrient absorption from the air and rain, as well as structures like thick, waxy leaves to minimize moisture loss. Many epiphytes, including orchids and bromeliads, also have a unique growth form that allows them to capture sunlight efficiently in their canopy habitat. Additionally, some may rely on symbiotic relationships with fungi or bacteria to enhance nutrient uptake.

Yes, root caps are generally absent in epiphytes. Epiphytes, which grow on other plants for support, often have specialized root structures that do not require a root cap, as they absorb moisture and nutrients from the air and surrounding environment rather than from the soil. Their roots are typically adapted for anchoring to their host plants rather than penetrating the ground.
