Stem cambial variants of Taiwan lianas
Botanical Studies, 2022 Abstract Background: Cambium in lianas, responsible for secondary growth, develop diverse and diagnostic traits during the climbing phase. Studies on the cross-section of Taiwanese liana cambial variants are scarce. We collected multiple stem cross-sections from 287 liana species belonging to 52 families.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning to Detect Liana Impact on Forest Structure [PDF]
, 2018 Tropical forests are currently experiencing large-scale structural changes, including an increase in liana abundance and biomass. Higher liana abundance results in reduced tree growth and increased tree mortality, possibly playing an important role in ...

Abundância e biomassa de lianas em um fragmento de floresta Atlântica
HoehneaLianas 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.

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

Wanted: new allometric equations for large lianas and African lianas [PDF]
Biotropica, 2016 AbstractLiana abundance appears to be increasing, possibly to the detriment of trees, but methods for measuring liana biomass are undependable. We show that five commonly used allometric equations produce disparate results and discuss two large information gaps—Central African lianas and large lianas—that currently preclude accurate liana biomass ...

Extraction of Liana Stems Using Geometric Features from Terrestrial Laser Scanning Point Clouds
Remote Sensing, 2022 Lianas are self-supporting systems that are increasing their dominance in tropical forests due to climate change. As lianas increase tree mortality and reduce tree growth, one key challenge in ecological remote sensing is the separation of a liana and ...
