Lianas (woody vines) are important components of forest ecosystems and are often found to
proliferate in young forests that have experienced large-scale disturbances. However, little is …

Vertical seed dispersal, ie seed dispersal towards a higher or lower altitude, is considered a
critical process for plant escape from climate change. However, studies exploring vertical …

We present the results of classifying plants at species level that can tolerate air pollution,
provide cooling, and simultaneously survive and thrive in urban environments. For this …

Premise of the Study In animal‐dispersed plants, seed dispersal patterns of the same
species in the same habitat can greatly differ among individuals and temporally. Many …

Despite a long tradition in ecology of studying tree species assembly and its potential drivers
in tropical forest communities, little information exists with respect to lianas (woody climbers) …

Several factors related to liana abundance have been shown at broad scales, however, the
information on factors affecting liana distribution in temperate zones is limited. Climbing …

Abstract Background and Aims Extensive clonal (vegetative) reproduction in lianas is a
common and important life history strategy for regeneration and colonization success …

Changes in density and basal area of lianas≥ 2 cm diameter were monitored in two 1-ha
permanent plots in a subtropical montane mature forest of north-western Argentina. Liana …

Subtropical forests have been under constant pressure due to drastic changes in land use,
fragmentation, and logging. These impacts can alter the canopy cover, structure, species …

Lianas are important components of forest communities with a considerable impact on
overall forest structure and function. Lianas are characterized by extensive clonal …
