AbstractLIANA is a question answering system in PL/1. The program takes German natural language input and, by morphological, syntactic and semantic analysis, creates a representation of the text, which is stored and can be accessed for retrieval purposes.All individuals (objects) mentioned in the sentence are found and stored.

A liana is a long-stemmed, woody vine that is rooted in the soil at ground level and uses trees to climb up to the canopy to get access to well-lit areas of the forest. The main goal of this book is to present the current status of liana ecology in tropical and temperate forests.

Lianas and Trees in a Liana Forest of Amazonian Bolivia1
BIOTROPICA, 2001ABSTRACTThe 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 to estimate tree (a 10 cm DBH [diameter at breast height]) and liana (≥2 cm DBH) densities and to count

Invasive alien lianas have similar allometry to native lianas in temperate forests
Biological Invasions, 2016Lianas use other trees for mechanical support and convert freed resources into other structures such as leaf biomass. Consequently, lianas can contribute significantly to leaf biomass in forests. As invasive species tend to have higher growth rates, we predicted that invasive lianas would have higher biomass accumulation which would cause greater ...

The Search for Champion Lianas: The Largest Lianas on Six Continents
BiotropicaABSTRACT Determining species' maximum sizes provides valuable insights into their ecology, natural history, and potential ecosystem contributions. Using both plot‐based and forest‐wide surveys on six continents, we document the largest “Champion” liana ever recorded (866 mm diameter) from an African forest, as well as continental ...

Cost and Efficiency of Cutting Lianas in a Lowland Liana Forest of Bolivia1
BIOTROPICA, 2001ABSTRACTLiana cutting is a commonly suggested silvicultural practice aimed at reducing the negative impacts of lianas on timber production, but few experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the cost and efficiency of this practice. In this study, we estimated the cost of cutting lianas in 12 plots of 0.25 ha each in a densely liana‐infested ...

Lianas as Structural Parasites
2015The “structural parasite” strategy is explored for lianas (woody vines). Since lianas grow upon host plants which provide mechanical support, fewer mechanical support cells are required in the stems and roots. Lianas have long and narrow stems with low Huber values (xylem area per distal leaf area) and long and wide vessels with great conductive ...
