Efficiency-safety in lianas and trees

, 2019
Hydraulic traits are important for woody plant functioning and distribution. Associations among hydraulic traits, other leaf and stem traits, and species’ performance are relatively well understood for trees, but remain poorly studied for lianas.

Lianas as structural parasites: A re-evaluation [PDF]

, 2011
Lianas are a principal physiognomic component of tropical and subtropical forests and are typically considered to be parasites of trees. In contrast, the substantial contribution of lianas to rainforest leaf litter production (up to 40%) suggests that ...

Cultivating diversity: is the functional diversity of nursery stocks sufficient for the establishment of functionally diverse restored woodlands?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration projects often rely on nurseries (NU) to provide plants to restore ecological communities. However, the range of species available in NU may not represent the range of ecological function found in species in reference (natural) communities.

Root parasitism by Scybalium fungiforme Schott & Endl. is not random among host species in seasonal tropical forest [PDF]

Acta Botânica Brasílica
Though 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.

The Circular Processes Model of Cultural Taxation: The Lived Experiences of Māori Healthcare Employees

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 4, December 2026.
This study examines the cultural taxation experiences of Māori healthcare employees in Aotearoa. Cultural taxation, a form of implicit bias, refers to the burdens imposed on minority employees to engage in cultural responsibilities without receiving recognition or consideration in promotions (Padilla 1994).

Lianas reduce biomass accumulation in early successional tropical forests [PDF]

, 2020
Early successional tropical forests could mitigate climate change via rapid accumulation of atmospheric carbon. However, liana (woody vine) abundance and biomass has been increasing in many tropical forests over the past decades, which may slow the speed

Primary Succession of Lianas in an Amazonian Floodplain Forest

, 2003
Lianas (woody vines) are a major component of Neotropical forests. This investigation examined liana composition in a primary successional forest formed from bank erosion and main channel migration of the Manu River. Previous investigation of this system

The keys to the garden: Capital, class, and the repurposing of Persian mystical poetry in Los Angeles

Journal of Linguistic Anthropology, Volume 36, Issue 3, December 2026.
Abstract This article traces the social life of medieval Persian poetry as it is repurposed within Los Angeles's Iranian diaspora. Based on 5 years of immersive ethnography in private erfān classes and mystical assemblies, I argue these gatherings function as contemporary diasporic courts, mobilizing core texts within a spiritual marketplace structured
