North America:
Pypker, T. G., B. J. Bond, T. E. Link, D. Marks and M. H. Unsworth. 2005.

Forest Meteorology 130:113-129.
Pypker, T. G., M. H. Unsworth and B. J. Bond. 2006a. The role of
epiphytes in rainfall interception by forests in the Pacific Northwest.
I. Laboratory measurements of water storage. Canadian Journal of Forest
Research 36:808-818.
Pypker, T.G., M. H. Unsworth and B. J. Bond. 2006b. The role of
epiphytes in rainfall interception by forests in the Pacific Northwest.
