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.

Dick Johansson has written: 'Ecology of vascular epiphytes in West African rain forest' -- subject(s): Epiphytes
In a commensalism relationship between a rainforest tree and epiphytes, the epiphytes, such as orchids and ferns, grow on the tree without harming it. The tree provides a physical structure for the epiphytes to access sunlight and moisture high in the canopy, which is essential for their growth. While the epiphytes benefit from the tree's support, they do not extract nutrients from the tree, allowing the tree to remain unaffected by their presence. This relationship exemplifies the intricate interdependence of rainforest ecosystems, where organisms coexist and thrive in a shared environment.
