Classifying a Plant's Nutritional Strategy, Worked

Captions available

The idea

This procedure sorts an unfamiliar plant's nutritional strategy by applying photosynthetic capacity and nutrient-source criteria from this unit in sequence.

Where people slip

Assuming physical attachment to another plant always means dependence on it is the error here — structural support and nutritional dependence are separate criteria, and an epiphyte satisfies only the first.
