Tree canopy study reveals key factors impacting epiphyte survival.
Forest canopies have different climates at different heights, which affects plants living on trees. It's hard to measure these conditions, but it's important for studying plants on trees. By using many sensors in the UK, researchers found that where sensors are placed in trees and on leaves is crucial for understanding the tree's climate. This helps scientists know how many sensors they need and where to put them when studying plants on trees.
