One thing I want to point out is that underneath these live epiphytes, as they die and decompose, they actually construct an arboreal soil, both in the temperate zone and in the tropics.
Tahan tähelepanu juhtida, et nende elavate epifüütide all, kui nad surevad ja lagunevad, moodustub sellest puukoorele pinnas, seda nii parasvöötmes kui ka troopikas.
