Logging and lianas in West Africa.
2005AbstractSeveral aspects are considered including liana cutting as a silvicultural tool, liana abundance and tree infestation, silvicultural systems with natural regeneration and liana cutting, and forest regeneration based on a "model" forest.

Effect of Liana Cutting on Tree Regeneration in a Liana Forest in Amazonian Bolivia
Ecology, 2001Lianas, woody climbing plants, are a conspicuous component of tropical forest canopies that might affect prevailing conditions in the forest floor and thus impact tree seedling regeneration. The effects of lianas on tree seedling survival, growth, and density were studied in a lowland liana forest in Bolivia.

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 ...

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 ...

Stilbenoids from the lianas of Gnetum pendulum
Phytochemistry, 2001Two stilbenoids, gnetupendin A and B, were isolated from the lianas of Gnetum pendulum C. Y. Cheng, together with four known compounds, resveratrol, isorhapontigenin, shegansu B and beta-daucosterol. Their structures were determined on the basis of analysis of spectral evidence, especially 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques.

Epiphytes, Lianas and Hemiepiphytes
1997Perhaps epiphytism could be thought to be primarily the utilization of any possible surface for holdfast and establishment, i.e. a conquest of space with epiphytes found in aquatic and terrestrial habitats made up of various combinations of lower and higher plants. In aquatic habitats, i.e.

Assessing Negative and Positive Phototropism in Lianas
2019By the nineteenth century, root climbers and adhesive-tendril climbers were known to exhibit negative phototropism. Negative phototropism is shared by various plant species belonging to many taxonomic families and is considered to be an outcome of parallel evolution.
