Abstract
⺠We assess the potential effects of predicted climate change on four epiphytes. ⺠We simulate climate change by using altitudinal gradients as a proxy. ⺠Non-vascular epiphytes are susceptible to simulated climate change. ⺠Drought has directly deleterious effects on epiphytic bryophytes. ⺠Nephromopsis pallescens can be used as bio-indicator to monitor climate change.
