Lianas reduce carbon accumulation and storage in tropical forests
GMF Van Der Heijden, JS Powers… - Proceedings of the …, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Tropical forests store vast quantities of carbon, account for one-third of the carbon fixed by
photosynthesis, and are a major sink in the global carbon cycle. Recent evidence suggests …

Effect of lianas on forest‐level tree carbon accumulation does not differ between seasons: Results from a liana removal experiment in Panama
GMF Van Der Heijden, JS Powers… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Lianas are prevalent in Neotropical forests, where liana‐tree competition can be intense,
resulting in reduced tree growth and survival. The ability of lianas to grow relative to trees …
