Liana Impacts on Carbon Cycling, Storage and Sequestration in Tropical Forests (2013, background): “Lianas can also reduce tree fruit production (Stevens 1987, Wright et al. 2005, Kainer et al. 2006, 2007, Fonseca et al. 2009, Nabe-Nielsen et al. 2009, Klimas et al. 2012).”
Explaining variation in Brazil nut fruit production (2007, background): “Liana presence has been shown to reduce fruit production of trees (Stevens, 1987; Kainer et al., 2006), and proximate disturbances such as fire also have been implicated (Layne and Abrahamson, 2004).”
The impact of lianas on 10 years of tree growth and mortality on Barro Colorado Island, Panama (2010, background): “…intensely with trees, reducing growth rates, fecundity and survival (Putz 1984a; Grauel & Putz 2004; Schnitzer, Kuzee & Bongers 2005; Wright et al. 2005; Kainer et al. 2006), many of these trees may be periodically released from liana infestation because of the relatively rapid turnover of lianas.”
Age-Related Changes in Tree Growth and Functional Biology: The Role of Reproduction (2011, background): “For example, mast fruiting patterns in the forests of Southeast Asia and parts of the temperate zone largely determine population dynamics of regenerating seedlings, of organisms that depend on seeds as resources, and through trophic cascades have large impacts on many organisms within the ecosystem”
What controls liana success in Neotropical forests (2008, background): “Infestation with lianas may increase host tree mortality (Putz, 1984b; Phillips et al ., 2002, 2005) and reduce tree growth (Putz, 1984b; Clark & Clark, 1990) and fecundity (Stevens, 1987; Kainer et al. , 2006).”
