Making (remote) sense of lianas

Journal of Ecology, 2022
Lianas (woody vines) are abundant and diverse, particularly in tropical ecosystems. Lianas use trees for structural support to reach the forest canopy, often putting leaves above their host tree. Thus they are major parts of many forest canopies.

On censusing lianas: a review of common methodologies.

, 2005
AbstractMethodologically, the study of lianas is currently in disarray, as researchers are trying to determine the most appropriate ways to census lianas. Stem measurement location, the decision to include or exclude ramets, plot shape, and the criteria of what constitutes a liana differ among studies.

Lianas reduce carbon accumulation and storage in tropical forests [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015
Tropical forests store vast quantities of carbon, account for a third of the carbon fixed by photosynthesis, and are a major sink in the global carbon cycle.

Liana

ITL - International Journal of Applied Linguistics, 1975
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.

Lianas and Trees in a Liana Forest of Amazonian Bolivia1

BIOTROPICA, 2001
ABSTRACTThe 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

Ecology of Lianas

2014
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.

Cost and Efficiency of Cutting Lianas in a Lowland Liana Forest of Bolivia1

BIOTROPICA, 2001
ABSTRACTLiana 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 in gaps reduce carbon accumulation in a tropical forest [PDF]

Ecology, 2014
Treefall gaps are the “engines of regeneration” in tropical forests and are loci of high tree recruitment, growth, and carbon accumulation. Gaps, however, are also sites of intense competition between lianas and trees, whereby lianas can dramatically ...
