Agent‐based modeling of the effects of forest dynamics, selective logging, and fragment size on epiphyte communities
Abstract Forest canopies play a crucial role in structuring communities of vascular epiphytes by providing substrate for colonization, by locally varying microclimate, and by causing epiphyte mortality due to branch or tree fall. However, as field studies in the three‐dimensional habitat of epiphyte...
