Aims Epiphytes are an abundant and diverse component of many wet temperate forests and have significant roles in ecosystem *** is known about the processes and rates of their death and decomposition when they fall from the canopy,which limits our understanding of their role in forest carbon sequestration and nutri-ent *** the temperate rainforest of the Quinault River Valley,Washington State,our aim was to test hypotheses regarding four elements of disturbance that might contribute to their *** We established set of experiments in which we placed samples of canopy epiphytes and their branch segments:(i)in the canopy versus forest floor microenvironment(stratum);(ii)attached to live versus dead branch substrates;(iii)subjected to physical disruption and‘jarring’;and(iv)in direct versus indirect con-tact with the forest *** the 2-year study,we assigned a non-destructive‘vitality index’(based on color and appar-ent mortality and dryness)to each sample every 2-3 months to compare effects of the experimental treatments and analyzed with a statistical model and post hoc pairwise comparisons of *** Findings The canopy versus ground stratum and live/dead branch status sig-nificantly affected epiphyte *** of physical disruption and ground contact were not *** were seasonal effects(low vitality during the sampling times in the summer,revitalization upon sampling times in the winter)for all treatments except samples in contact with the *** implication of these results relates to effects of climate change,which is predicted to shift to hotter,drier summers and wetter *** change may affect forest dynamics and nutrient cycling in unpredictable *** also point to future experiments to understand biotic and abiotic effects on epiphyte disturbance and dynamics.
