Facilitation, competition and parasitic facilitation amongst invasive and native liana seedlings and a native tree seedling

NeoBiota, 2017
Lianas are prevalent in gaps and edges of forests where they compete intensely with trees, reducing growth and recruitment. Invasive lianas have the potential to be particularly harmful as the competitive advantage of the liana life history may be ...

Conceptualising the Global Forest Response to Liana Proliferation

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2020
Lianas are woody vines, rooted in the soil, and supported physically by trees. Lianas contribute to forest ecosystem functioning globally, but especially in the tropics and subtropics. However, prolific liana growth following heavy disturbance frequently

Influencia de la invasión de Ligustrum lucidum (Oleaceae) sobre la comunidad de lianas en la sierra de San Javier (Tucumán – Argentina)

Ecología Austral, 2015
Ecología Austral, 25:65-74 (2015) En la sierra de San Javier (Tucumán, Argentina) se presentan bosques secundarios nativos e invadidos, estos últimos dominados por Ligustrum lucidum, que afecta la biodiversidad nativa.

Liana loads and post-logging liana densities after liana cutting in a lowland forest in Bolivia

Forest Ecology and Management, 2004
Abstract Liana infestations can be a problem in forests managed for timber because lianas decrease rates of tree growth, damage tree boles, and inhibit tree regeneration. To determine the area from which lianas colonize tree crowns in a liana-rich moist lowland forest in a timber concession in the Department of Santa Cruz, Bolivia, we described ...

Critérios para a amostragem de lianas: comparação e estimativa da abundância e biomassa de lianas no Cerrado

Revista Árvore, 2013
Lianas (trepadeiras lenhosas) desempenham papel vital na dinâmica de florestas tropicais, contribuindo para abundância, diversidade e estrutura da comunidade. Técnicas para realizar o censo e estimar a biomassa de lianas têm sido usadas principalmente em

Abundância e biomassa de lianas em um fragmento de floresta Atlântica

Hoehnea
Lianas representam um importante componente da estrutura e diversidade das florestas tropicais. Normalmente em florestas perturbadas são encontradas uma alta densidade de lianas em comparação com florestas não perturbadas.

Temperate Lianas Have More Acquisitive Strategies than Host Trees in Leaf and Stem Traits, but Not Root Traits

Plants, 2022
Increasingly, tropical studies based on aboveground traits have suggested that lianas have a more acquisitive strategy than trees, thereby possibly explaining the increase in lianas relative to trees in many tropical forests under global change. However,

Change in liana density over 30 years in a Bornean rain forest supports the escape hypothesis

Ecosphere, 2021
Liana dynamics may influence tree dynamics and vice versa. Only long‐term studies can perhaps disentangle them. In two permanent plots of lowland dipterocarp forest at Danum, a liana census in 1988 was repeated in 2018.
