Lianas Significantly Reduce Aboveground and Belowground Carbon Storage: A Virtual Removal Experiment
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2021 Lianas are structural parasites of trees that cause a reduction in tree growth and an increase in tree mortality. Thereby, lianas negatively impact forest carbon storage as evidenced by liana removal experiments.

Large lianas as hyperdynamic elements of the tropical forest canopy [PDF]
, 2005 Lianas (woody vines) are an important component of lowland tropical forests. We report large liana and tree inventory and dynamics data from Amazonia over periods of up to 24 years, making this the longest geographically extensive study of liana ...

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

International Journal of Plant Biology, 2022 Lianas are woody climbing plants and are thought to impact the hosting trees negatively. Ephedra altissima is a liana rising on the Moroccan endemic tree Argania spinosa (L.) Skeels. In this study, our objective was to investigate the impact of the liana

Testing a silvicultural recommendation: Brazil nut responses 10 years after liana cutting. [PDF]
, 2019 1. Lianas or woody vines can be detrimental to the trees that support them. Research on liana cutting for tropical timber management has demonstrated positive yet costly benefits, but liana utting to enhance commercial outputs of nontimber forest ...

Liana cutting for restoring tropical forests : a rare palaeotropical trial [PDF]
, 2016 Liana growth following forest disturbance is threatening the tropical carbon sink by delaying or preventing recov ery. Tree growth can be stimulated by liana cutting; however, its applicability for conservation management remains uncertain, particularly ...

Contribution of Lianas to Plant Area Index and Canopy Structure in A Panamanian Forest [PDF]
, 2016 Lianas are an important component of tropical forests, where they reduce tree growth, fecundity, and survival. Competition for light from lianas may be intense; however, the amount of light that lianas intercept is poorly understood.

The Bochner-flat cone of a CR manifold [PDF]
, 2007 We construct a Kahler structure (which we call a generalised Kahler cone) on an open subset of the cone of a strongly pseudo-convex CR manifold endowed with a 1-parameter family of compatible Sasaki structures. We determine those generalised Kahler cones
