Lianas and trees in a liana forest in Amazonian Bolivia
The distribution of lianas (woody climbing plants) on trees in a lowland “liana forest” of northeastern Bolivia was clumped and varied with characteristics of individual trees and tree neighbors. In twenty-four 900-m2 square plots established

Bulk leaf capacitance (Cbulk) in relation to bundle sheath area (BSA) and leaf dimensions in Alloteropsis semialata plants differing in photosynthetic type (C3, C3–C4 or C4) and ploidy level (2x, 6x or 12x). Summary The evolution of C4 photosynthesis requires biochemical innovations to be coordinated with anatomical modifications.

Lianas Significantly Reduce Aboveground and Belowground Carbon Storage: A Virtual Removal Experiment
Lianas are a quintessential tropical plant growth-form; they are speciose and abundant in tropical forests worldwide. Lianas compete intensely with trees, reducing nearly all aspects of tree performance.

Lianas as structural parasites: the Bursera simarouba example
The Fecundity of female Bursera simaruba (L.) Sarg. (Burseraceae) trees was found to be negatively correlated with their degree of coverage by lianas in the deciduous forests of Santa Rosa National Park, Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica.

LIANA+_Integrating_MultiOmics_Data v1
A Protocol describing the application of LIANA+ on a spatially-resolved metabolite-transcriptome dataset from a recent murine Parkinson’s disease model Vicari et al., 2023. We demonstrate LIANA+’s utility in harmonizing spatially-resolved transcriptomics and MALDI-MSI data to unravel metabolite-mediated interactions and the molecular mechanisms of ...

Lianas suppress tree regeneration and diversity in treefall gaps
Treefall gaps are hypothesized to maintain diversity by creating resource‐rich, heterogeneous habitats necessary for species coexistence. This hypothesis, however, is not supported empirically for shade‐tolerant trees, the dominant plant group in ...

Take almost any profile diagram of rain forest and it reveals you the neglect: nothing but trees. Even in Flora Malesiana* the manner of their climbing is not always indicated. Foresters regard them as weeds and persecute them systematically (see FOX 1968), which subjects them to extra dangers beyond the ’normal’ forest devastation.

Ecology And Impacts Of Lianas In Regenerating Forests
Although they are important components of forest communities, the general ecology of temperate lianas, especially during forest regeneration, is largely unknown.
