Cecropia spp. are common pioneer tree species in regenerating forest ecosystems and are often covered in trunk colonizers such as lichen, moss, and vines. As the tree ages and a more mature forest closes in, the microhabitat becomes darker and wetter, thus forcing species to change along a vertical species gradient as the succession of epiphytes tends more toward vascular plants. This study looks at epiphytic succession by measuring the percent lichen cover at a constant height on the trunks of Cecropia spp. It was hypothesized that percent lichen cover would decrease as tree diameter increased. One hundred trees were surveyed and percent lichen cover was measured at breast height and crude overall lichen cover was estimated. Lichen cover w...
