In the frame of current discussions on the value of forest canopies, a short introduction
and recent advances of nonvascular epiphyte (NVE) research are presented here
regarding a novel canopy access facility to study mechanisms and functions of carbon
and water exchange as well as impacts of climate and land-use change on NVE.
