LSID
Life Science Identifier (LSID):

LSIDs are persistent, location-independent,resource identifiers for uniquely naming biologically significant resources including species names, concepts, occurrences, genes or proteins, or data objects that encode information about them. To put it simply, LSIDs are a way to identify and locate pieces of biological information on the web.

Description

The data of epiphytic plants is collected from one central tree located in a 10 x 20 m plot. The tree was climbed and species searched for both along the bole and in the crown. The identity of the central tree could be found in the “event” folder in the excel file. Then the full plot of 10 x 20 m was inventoried for additional species of bryophytes and woody plants of >5 cm and for vascular epiphytes up to around 2 meters on other threes and shrubs. Thus all species of woody species and bryophytes were included but only epiphytic vascular plants.

The plots were in three categories: forest, plantation of Eucalyptus or Cupressus and finally homegarden with coffee under shade trees.Kristoffer Hylander collected all specimens. Voucher specimens can be found at the National herbarium in Addis Ababa.
