Liana cover in the canopies of rainforest trees is not predicted by local ground‐based measures
Abstract
Lianas (woody climbers) are structural parasites of trees that compete with them for light and below‐ground resources. Most studies of liana–tree interactions are based on ground‐level observations of liana stem density and size, with these assessments generally assumed to reflect the amount of liana canopy cover and overall burden to the tree. We tested this assumption in a 1‐ha plot of lowland rainforest in tropical Australia. We recorded 1072...
