Lianas in tropical dry seasonal forests have a high hydraulic efficiency but not always a higher embolism resistance than lianas in rainforests
Abstract Background and Aims Lianas have higher relative abundance and biomass in drier
seasonal forests than in rainforests, but whether this difference is associated with their …
