How do you calculate density from surface area per m2 and number of species ie density of epiphytes per m2 of trunk from having the surface area of the trunk and number of epiphytes on it?

To calculate the density of epiphytes per m2 of trunk, you would divide the number of epiphytes by the surface area of the trunk in square meters. This would give you the number of epiphytes per square meter of trunk. Density = Number of epiphytes / Surface area of trunk.
