AB  - Epiphytes comprise a significant component of biodiversity and biomass in tropical forests. They are ecologically important in intercepting and retaining moisture, providing habitat and food for invertebrates, and contributing fixed nitrogen into the ecosystem. Lichens are mutualistic symbioses between lichen-forming fungi (mycobionts) and algae and/or cyanobacteria (photobionts). Most lichen mycobionts are specific in their photobiont choice and the local availability of compatible photobionts ...
