- SPECIES RICHNESS AND ABUNDANCE OF LOW-TRUNK HERB EPIPHYTES IN RELATION TO HOST TREE SIZE AND BARK TYPE, EASTERN AMAZONIA José Leonardo Lima Magalhães Maria Aparecida Lopes Agrociencias epiphyte Composition Secondary hemi Lowland tropical rainforest ABSTRACT – The composition and structure of the low-trunk epiphytic herb assembly as well as its verticaldistribution were studied. DBH of host tree and bark type influence species richness and abundance in a non-flooded lowland tropical rainforest in Eastern Amazonia (1º57’36"S 51º36’55"W). A total of 37 epiphyticherb species were identified, among which 60% were Araceae. Species richness and abundance of epiphyticherbs showed tendency of positive correlation with host tree size and no relationships with bark type. Lowpositive correlation may be a by-product of the predominance of trees with smaller diameter in our samplerather than a reflection of neutral relationship. The absence of relationships with bark type may be partiallyexplained by the large number of secondary, generalist, hemi-epiphytes and also may reflect the absence ofsuitable substrate in trees with smaller diameter. 2015 artículo científico 0100-6762 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=48842213006 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=488 Revista Árvore application/pdf Universidade Federal de Viçosa Revista Árvore (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.39
