Carroll, G.; McCune, B. 2013. Epiphyte species list of Watershed 10, Andrews Experimental Forest, 1970 to 1972 Long-Term Ecological Research Andrews Forest LTER Site. [Database]. Available: https://andrewsforest-stage.forestry.oregonstate.edu/data/fsdb-data-catalog/SA010 Accessed 2026-05-10.

Using direct-aid climbing techniques for sampling trunks and branch systems, we found 74 species of lichens and 32 species of bryophytes growing as epiphytes in a 450-year-old Douglas-fir forest in western Oregon. This data is based on sampling designed to provide estimates of epiphyte biomass per hectare of forest to be used in ecosystem modeling.
