Despite nutrient stress, not all epiphytes have mycorrhizal associations, including some epiphytic orchids (Lesica & Antibus 1990). In this study epiphytic orchids were collected from tree and limb falls in the Monteverde Cloud Forest, Costa Rica. Abiotic factors such as branch circumference, presence or absence of moss mats, thickness of moss mats, substrate pH and moisture content were measured for their impact on mycorrhizal abundance. Biotic factors such as relative age of the orchid, plant height and the presence or absence of pseudobulbs were also considered. Finally, taxonomic factors were assessed as abundance of mycorrhizae related to the Pleurothallid or non-Pleurothallid subtribes. Unlike Lesica and Antibus (1990) who found less ...
