Effects of Hurricane Andrew on epiphyte communities within cypress domes of Everglades National Park
Oberbauer, SF | Von Kleist, K III | Whelan, KRT | Koptur, S
Ecology. Vol. 77, no. 3, pp. 964-967. 1996.

Here, we document the short-term epiphyte community response to Hurricane Andrew in cypress domes. We attempt to answer the following questions: (1) What is the magnitude of changes in epiphyte density? (2) Were epiphyte losses related to level of tree damage within a dome? (3) Were certain epiphyte species affected more than others? (4) Can these differences be related to differences in growth characteristics? (5) Were changes in epiphyte density related to epiphyte size?
