You can plant more trees... and/or...
Epiphytic orchids, on the other hand, although far below the woody plants of a forest, may exceed floor-covering herbaceous plants in total productivity. In many forests and woodlands, then, orchids become quantitatively important in carbon fixation, oxygen-carbon dioxide balance, and mineral recycling. - William W. Sanford, The Ecology of Orchids
Green biomass (and presumably photosynthetic capacity as well) of nonvascular and higher plants anchored in tree crowns can rival - probably even exceed - that of phorophytes. - David Benzing, Vascular Epiphytes
