Spatial variation in liana effects on host‐tree allometry and biomass in an intact tropical forest
Ecography, EarlyView.Lianas are increasing in abundance across the tropics, yet local spatial variation in their effects on host‐tree allometry and biomass, and the drivers of this variation within forests, remain poorly understood. Using field inventory, drone photogrammetry, and terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) across a 50‐ha plot on Barro Colorado Island, Panama, we ...
