Action note: In: Summary: ABSTRACT: The Neotropical region is an area with high species diversity. One contributor for this diversity are vascular epiphytes. Vascular epiphytes are widely diverse and distributed to different ecological communities. These species have many ecological contributions such as providing habitats for other organisms. This research aimed to compare different recent studies on neotropical vascular epiphytes, and to document the species richness and the factors that influence this richness. This research also aimed to support future studies of vascular epiphytes and raise awareness for their conservation in the ecosystem. The researcher searched through different scientific websites to gather recent published scientific research. They were able to collect ten studiespublished from the year 1990s up to the present. Most of the available studies were conducted near or the Andes mountain ranges. The elevation of the area controbuted to the high species richness among the different sampling sites. Elevation varies along with temperature, wind direction, amount of rainfall and light. These factors influence the vertical and latitudinal distribution of vascular epiphytes. Orchidaceae is most dominat in most of the sampling sites. Followed by Pteridophyta Araceae, and Bromeliads. Keywords: abundance, distribution, diversity, Andes ranges, Orchidaceae. Other editions:
