Floristic Survey of Epiphytic Lichens and Bryophytes Growing on Old-Growth Conifers in Western Oregon'
TL;DR: Using direct-aid climbing techniques for sampling trunks and branch systems, it is found 74 species of lichens and 32 species of bryophytes growing as epiphytes in a 450-year-old Douglas fir forest in western Oregon.

Biomass of Epiphytic Lichens and Bryophytes on Abies lasiocarpa on a Mt. Baker Lava Flow, Washington
TL;DR: Pike et al. as discussed by the authors measured the biomass of epiphytes on Abies lasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt on a Mt. Baker lava flow and found that they have blue-green-algal phycobionts and presumably fix atmospheric nitrogen.

Distribution of thalli in a population of the epiphytic lichen Lobaria oregana and a model of population dynamics and production
TL;DR: Data on weight-class distribution, growth rate and asexual propagule (lobule) release are used to analyze populations of the nitrogen-fixing lichen Lobaria oregana in old-growth Douglas fir canopies of western Oregon, and mathematical manipulation of matrix formulations of the life-table model indicates that populations would be stable if they recruited 10% of the lobules released each year.
