preliminary results of techniques develope d for sampling epiphytes on old-growt h Douglas-fir in the H . J. Andrews Experimenta l Forest . The relatively nondestructive samplin g is an extension of the procedure for estimating tree structure and biomass described b y Denison et al . (1972) . The Study Tree Methods Epiphyte sampling by the methods de - scribed here has been carried out on a single old-growth Douglas-fir tree . This tree i s located on a north-facing slope in watershe d 10 of the H . J. Andrews Experimental Forest , 75 km east of Eugene, Oregon . The base of this 65 m tall tree is at an elevation of 500 m . The surrounding stand of old-growth Douglas - fir has an understory which includes wester n hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) and vine mapl e (Acer circinatum) . Epiphytic lichens an d bryophytes are present on the understory trees and shrubs as well as the overstory Douglas-fir . Sampling of Epiphytes For sampling, the tree was divided into trunk(s) and branch systems . The trunk is the main vertical axis of the tree ; branch systems are sets of branches leaving the trunk at the same point and are made up of axes (>4 c m in diameter) and branchlets (
where C is the percentage cover by epiphytes , r is the radius at the base of the axis, and h i s the length of the axis . The bulk of epiphyte biomass for these branch systems is assume d to occur on the axes; if this is not the case , the biomass of epiphytes on the many small branch systems, which are made up entirely of branchlets, may be significantly underestimated . Since EIV is based partly on subjective estimates of length of axes and percentage cove r by epiphytes, the relationship between EI V and epiphyte biomass may be expected t o vary from worker to worker and from sampling period to sampling period, and for thi s reason will be treated separately for each tree . However, it should be possible to correct importance values so that correlations may be obtained that will hold across a set of trees . Sampling Branch Systems The basic sampling unit for epiphytes o n axes in the branch systems is a "cylindrat, " which is analagous to a quadrat but runs completely around the axis so that two edges ar e fused . Our 1 dm cylindrats include the entir e surface for a distance of 1 dm along an axis . Thus the surface area of the cylindrat varies , depending on the diameter of the axis in th e region sampled . Cylindrats were spaced along an axis with a distance of 4 dm from the center of on e cylindrat to the center of the next . Th e distance from the trunk to the first cylindra t sampled along a main axis was varied from 0 to 1, 2, and 3 dm so as to avoid errors whic h would be introduced by horizontal zonation on the axis near its origin from the trunk . Estimates of epiphyte cover were made, an d then the epiphytes were stripped from th e cylindrat and bagged . Axis diameter at th e center of each cylindrat was measured t o enable calculation of surface area of the axes . Branchlets (
