Cryptogamic organisms, as i.e. bryophytes, lichens, and algae, cover major parts of vegetation in the Amazonian rain forest, but their relevance in biosphere-atmosphere exchange, climate processes, and nutrient cycling is largely unknown.
Over the duration of two years we measured their water content, temperature, and light conditions to get better insights into their physiological activity pattern and thus, their potential impact on local, regional, and even global biogeochemical processes.
