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.

Conceptualising the Global Forest Response to Liana Proliferation
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020 Lianas are woody vines, rooted in the soil, and supported physically by trees. Lianas contribute to forest ecosystem functioning globally, but especially in the tropics and subtropics. However, prolific liana growth following heavy disturbance frequently

Short and Long-Term Soil Moisture Effects of Liana Removal in a Seasonally Moist Tropical Forest. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Lianas (woody vines) are particularly abundant in tropical forests, and their abundance is increasing in the neotropics. Lianas can compete intensely with trees for above- and belowground resources, including water.
