Mechanisms and ecological consequences of the over-increase of lianas in forests

Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023
Lianas are one of the components in maintaining forest diversity. The over-increase of lianas in tropical and subtropical forests, especially in secondary forests is threatening the restoration and healthy development of forests.

Seeing both the forest and the trees: An automated workflow for ultra‐high‐resolution drone imaging of tropical canopies

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Tropical forest canopies host diverse tree and liana assemblages, yet key foliar and reproductive traits needed for taxonomic identification of canopy plants are often difficult to see from the forest floor, creating a bottleneck in inventories.

Climatic suitability screening of Parthenocissus tricuspidata and Ficus tikoua as candidate lianas for rocky slope rehabilitation

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionInfrastructure development in karst regions frequently leads to the formation of rocky slopes that are difficult to rehabilitate. Lianas, owing to their strong adaptability and rapid growth, may provide suitable plant materials for the ...

Trichome structure and evolution in Neotropical lianas [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2013
Trichomes are epidermal outgrowths generally associated with protection against herbivores and/or desiccation that are widely distributed from ferns to angiosperms. Patterns of topological variation and morphological evolution of trichomes are still scarce in the literature, preventing valid comparisons across taxa.

Evolutionary framework and tribal circumscription of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto based on a comprehensive phylogenomic analysis

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolutionary history of Amaranthaceae sensu stricto (s.s.) has been shaped by multiple whole‐genome duplications and rapid radiations, producing an ecologically diverse lineage whose internal relationships have long remained unresolved.

Periodontitis and Chronic Conditions in Older Adults: A Scoping Review and Evidence Map of Systematic Reviews

Gerodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Periodontitis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition that frequently co‐occurs with systemic chronic diseases. Although older adults experience a high burden of both periodontitis and chronic conditions, the extent to which age‐specific evidence has been synthesised remains unclear.

Edge disturbance shapes liana diversity and abundance but not liana-tree interaction network patterns in moist semi-deciduous forests, Ghana

, 2023
Edge disturbance can drive liana community changes and alter liana-tree interaction networks, with ramifications for forest functioning. Understanding edge effects on liana community structure and liana-tree interactions is therefore essential for forest
