Structure and Biomass of Four Lowland Neotropical Forests (2004, methodology): “We used data from two destructive harvest experiments carried out in the Neotropics: one for 17 individuals in the Rio Negro Basin of Venezuela (Putz 1983) and one for 19 individuals in Eastern Amazonian forest of Brazil (Gerwing & Farias 2000; J. Gerwing pers. comm.).”
Censusing and Measuring Lianas: A Quantitative Comparison of the Common Methods 1 (2006, methodology): “Qualitatively, for lianas up to 6 cm in diameter, the equation from Pará state, Brazil (Gerwing & Farias 2000) estimates the most AGB while the equation based on lianas harvested in Cambodia (Hozumi et al. 1969) estimates the least (Fig.”
Spatial and temporal variation of biomass in a tropical forest: results from a large census plot in Panama (2003, methodology): “An allometric equation was developed from two data sets to estimate the AGB of lianas: one for 17 individuals in Venezuela (Putz 1983) and one for 19 individuals in Brazil (Gerwing & Farias 2000).”
A Standard Protocol for Liana Censuses 1 (2006, background): “16 Corresponding author; e-mail: jgerwing@pdx.edu (Gentry 1983, Hegarty 1990, Schnitzer & Bongers 2002), biomass (Putz 1983, Gerwing & Farias 2000, Körner 2004), and management (Appanah & Putz 1984, Putz 1991, Vidal et al. 1997, Parren & Bongers 2001) of tropical forests.”
Lianas and self-supporting plants during tropical forest succession. (2009, background): “They generally constitute a small proportion of the woody biomass in tropical forests (Gentry, 1991; Hegarty and Caballé, 1991; Gerwing and Farias, 2000; DeWalt and Chave, 2004), but they have a disproportionate effect on forest dynamics (Schnitzer and Bongers, 2002).”
Liana allometric biomass equations for Amazonian primary and secondary forest (2004, background): “In contrast, only two case studies on liana allometry are known to the authors (Putz, 1983; Gerwing and Farias, 2000).”
