Lianas (woody vines) have a critical role in ecosystem dynamics, especially in the tropics. At
present, there is an increasing need to develop reliable methods to measure liana's growth …

Common ivy (CI) or Hedera Helix L., is a clinging evergreen vine that can be cultivated on
any vertical surface (walls, fences, tree trunks, etc.). In Europe, CI has been recommended …

Lianas are increasing in abundance in many tropical forests. This increase can alter forest
structure and decrease both carbon storage and tree diversity via antagonistic relationships …

The increasing prevalence of woody liana species has been widely observed across the
neotropics, but observations from temperate regions are comparatively rare. On the basis of …

Over the past two decades, liana density and basal area have been increasing in many
tropical forests, which has profound consequences for forest diversity and functioning. One …

Abstract Changes in the temporal coherence between populations, which can influence their
stability, resilience and persistence, remain a critical uncertainty of climate change. Recent …

The digitization of natural history specimens and the popularization of citizen science are
creating an unprecedented availability of large amounts of biodiversity data. These …

The use of tree-ring methods to study ecological processes, known as dendroecology, has
been booming over the last decade. We believe that the incredible methodological strides in …

Research Highlights: We compared annually resolved records of tree-ring width and stable
isotope of dead and surviving Fokienia hodginsii (Dunn) Henry et Thomas trees. We provide …

The net effect of climate change on agriculture is likely to be negative despite the potential
beneficial effects some crops and regions might receive. While increases in atmospheric …
