Above- and below-ground competition in high and low irradiance: tree seedling responses to a competing liana Byttneria grandifolia [PDF]
, 2008 : In tropical forests, trees compete not only with other trees, but also with lianas, which may limit tree growth and regeneration. Liana effects may depend on the availability of above- and below-ground resources and differ between tree species.
