MethodsSampling Description
Monitoring of epiphyte accumulations on Mylar leaves. At approximate 2-week intervals 6 Mylar leaves harvested. Total epiphyte load and epiphyte chlorophyll-a determined for each leaf. Arrays (0.25m2) of Mylar leaves placed at study sites.
Method Step
Description
Total epiphyte and epiphyte chlorophyll load analysis (Frankovich and Fourqurean, 1997)
