      abstract     = {Yellow cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa (Siebold $\&$ Zucc.)
                      Endl. var. formosana (Hayata) Rehder) is the predominant
                      tree species of Taiwan's nutrient-poor, mountain fog
                      forests. Little is known about the potential contribution of
                      solute uptake from fog to the overall nutrition of these
                      trees. Shoots of yellow cypress seedlings were misted with
                      artificial fog containing the tracer rubidium (Rb) in
                      laboratory and field experiments to determine if there is
                      solute uptake from the fog. After misting shoots for six
                      weeks, substantial amounts of tracer were detected in
                      unexposed roots by inductively coupled plasma mass
                      spectroscopy bulk analysis.Possible routes of entry were
                      examined by element imaging with energy dispersive X-ray
                      analysis. Direct uptake of the tracer into leaves across the
                      cuticle and epidermis was small, excluding this as the major
                      uptake path. Accumulations of Rb were found on leaf surfaces
                      along the edges of the leaves. The almost daily changes in
                      fog coverage and air humidity may enhance the accumulation
                      of fog solutes at leaf edges. Accumulation of Rb was also
                      found in narrow clefts between opposite leaves and between
                      the outermost and underlying alternating stacked leaves. The
                      clefts provide a direct passage from the leaf surface to the
                      space beneath the imbricate leaves and the underlying
                      alternate leaves, possibly facilitating solute uptake from
                      fog, which in turn may contribute to the nutrition of yellow
                      cypress.},
