Terrestrial Laser Scanning to Detect Liana Impact on Forest Structure
Remote Sensing, 2018 Tropical forests are currently experiencing large-scale structural changes, including an increase in liana abundance and biomass. Higher liana abundance results in reduced tree growth and increased tree mortality, possibly playing an important role in ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruits encompass the energetic and material flow between both interacting parties in frugivore‐mediated seed dispersal. Since fruit traits matter in frugivores' foraging decisions, the temporal dynamics of fruit traits might influence interaction outcomes.

Ecology and EvolutionWe examined the variation in liana community composition and structure across geopedological land units to test the hypothesis that environmental heterogeneity is a driving force in liana community assembly.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

The Stoichiometric Characteristics of Liana Leaves in Different Rocky Desertification Habitats
DiversityLianas play a crucial role in forest species diversity, biomass, nutrient cycling, and vegetation restoration. To date, numerous studies on the stoichiometric characteristics of liana leaves have predominantly focused on temperate, subtropical, and ...

Can terrestrial laser scanners (TLSs) and hemispherical photographs predict tropical dry forest succession with liana abundance? [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 Tropical dry forests (TDFs) are ecosystems with long drought periods, a mean temperature of 25 °C, a mean annual precipitation that ranges from 900 to 2000 mm, and that possess a high abundance of deciduous species (trees and lianas). What remains of the
