Climate and hydraulic traits interact to set thresholds for liana viability
Nature Communications, 2022 Lianas are an important component of tropical forests. Here the authors compare liana and tree functional trait distributions from across the tropics and use a liana-tree competition model to show that a key hydraulic trait influences liana viability and

Liana loads and post-logging liana densities after liana cutting in a lowland forest in Bolivia
Forest Ecology and Management, 2004 Abstract Liana infestations can be a problem in forests managed for timber because lianas decrease rates of tree growth, damage tree boles, and inhibit tree regeneration. To determine the area from which lianas colonize tree crowns in a liana-rich moist lowland forest in a timber concession in the Department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, we described ...

Stem cambial variants of Taiwan lianas
Botanical Studies, 2022 Abstract Background: Cambium in lianas, responsible for secondary growth, develop diverse and diagnostic traits during the climbing phase. Studies on the cross-section of Taiwanese liana cambial variants are scarce. We collected multiple stem cross-sections from 287 liana species belonging to 52 families.
