Distribución de epífitas vasculares sobre cuatro especies arbóreas en un bosque xerofítico del Chaco Húmedo, Argentina

Abstract: RESUMEN.Las epífitas aportan una gran diversidad específica y brindan numerosos servicios ecosistémicos en los bosques. En el Chaco Húmedo, los estudios sobre epífitas son muy escasos, por lo cual se realizó una descripción de la comunidad de epífitas vasculares de cuatro especies arbóreas deciduas representativas de un quebrachal de la Cuña Boscosa Santafesina. Dos especies pertenecen al estrato superior (Schinopsis balansae y Sideroxylon obtusifolium) y dos al inferior (Prosopis spp. y Acacia praecox). En in… Show more

“…hosts with peeling bark are also colonized by atmospheric bromeliads, which are also distributed toward the smaller branches (López‐Villalobos et al, 2008; Ruiz‐Cordova, Toledo‐Hernández, & Flores‐Palacios, 2014), where the microenvironments not only explain the vertical distribution of epiphytes, but also the seed entrapment area and the diminished peeling rate. Our results coincide with the atmospheric epiphytic Tillandsia with plumose seeds such as T. bandensis , T. duratii , T. meridionalis , T. loliaceae , T. recurvata , and T. tricholepis , which also colonize the thinnest branches in the top of the crown, but on different hosts, in a xerophytic forest in Argentina (Alvarez‐Arensi, Barberis, & Vesprini, 2018), in a woodland savanna forest in Brazil (Joanitti, de Lara Weiser, Cavassan, & Giles, 2017), and in the tropical dry forests in Mexico (García‐Suárez et al, 2003; Ruiz‐Cordova et al, 2014). These Tillandsia spp.…”

“…In the Amazonian domain, characterized by evergreen tropical and subtropical forests with high precipitation, it mainly grows as epiphytic. In the Chaquenian domain, dominated by xerophytic forests with low rainfall, high soil pH, and base saturation, it mainly grows as terrestrial, whereas in the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest domain, the three life forms were recorded in similar proportions (Alvarez Arnesi, Barberis and Vesprini 2018; Barberis et al 2021).…”

“…Aechmea distichantha is a facultative epiphytic tank bromeliad (Type III sensu Benzing, 2000; CAM tank-epiphytic bromeliad sensu Males, 2018) that shows a wide distribution in mid-latitudes of South America (Martinelli et al, 2009;Smith & Downs, 1979), inhabiting different vegetation types in several biogeographic units within the Amazonian, Chaquenian, and Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest (SDTF) domains (sensu Cabrera & Willink, 1980;Pennington et al, 2000;Prado, 2000;Vogt, 2014). This facultative epiphytic tank bromeliad grows on different substrates and therefore has been reported as epiphytic, saxicolous, as well as terrestrial (Alvarez Arnesi et al, 2018;Barberis et al, 2014;Bolòs et al, 1991;Smith & Downs, 1979), although the latter life form has not been mentioned for this species in a recent biogeographic review of the Bromeliaceae (Zizka, Azevedo, et al, 2020).…”

“…Additionally, A. distichantha is the only tank bromeliad present in different xerophytic forests of the Chaquenian domain. It is frequently found dwelling as a terrestrial plant in the understory (Lewis & Pire, 1981;Morello & Adámoli, 1974) and sometimes growing as an epiphyte on branches of large trees (Alvarez Arnesi et al, 2018). There are only two other tank bromeliads reported for the Gran Chaco geographic region (Kessler, 2002b;Schinini, 2004;Vogt, 2011): Billbergia nutans H. Wendl.…”
