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 ...

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.

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 ...

A importância da luz na ocupação de árvores por lianas
RodriguésiaLianas interagem de forma negativa com as árvores, uma vez que aumentam suas taxas de mortalidade. Seria esperado, portanto, que árvores apresentassem possíveis caracteres que as defenderiam contra lianas.

Root parasitism by Scybalium fungiforme Schott & Endl. is not random among host species in seasonal tropical forest [PDF]
Acta Botânica BrasílicaThough they comprise 1 % of plant species on the planet, plant parasites are poorly known. They have been considered a threat to cultivated plants and to the conservation of host species in natural areas.
