The purpose of this study was to determine if and how much forest canopy density affects the richness and composition of epiphytic lichen communities in Tropical Premontane Moist Forest. Lichen communities on the trunk and in the canopy on nine Ficus trees were examined. Friedman’s test was used to assess differences in lichen richness along a vertical gradient on trees, and Spearman rank test was used to look for a correlation between canopy density and lichen richness. Average habitat breadth between zones and between trees was also calculated. The results showed that there are significant differences in lichen richness across zones (Freidman test, P = 0.01, N = 7), but no significant correlations were found between canopy den...
