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. Keywords: Cryptogams • Poikilohydry • Microclimate • Desiccation tolerance • Canopy access • Research tower • Bryophytes.
