Effects of lianas on growth and regeneration of Prioria copaifera in Darien, Panama (2004, background): “Because lianas are a major component of woody plant diversity and provide important food sources for wildlife, they play critical roles in the maintenance of biological diversity (Nabe-Nielsen, 2001; Burnham, 2002; Schnitzer and Bongers, 2002).”
Liana habitat associations and community structure in a Bornean lowland tropical forest (2006, background): “With the exception of certain inventories focused on particular plant groups (e.g., Melastomataceae, palms, or pteridophytes; Tuomisto and Ruokolainen 1994; Ruokolainen et al. 1997; Vormisto et al. 2000; Tuomisto et al. 2002), most studies examining entire communities have excluded lianas (woody vin”
A Standard Protocol for Liana Censuses 1 (2006, background): “Based on this reasoning, some researchers (e.g., Burnham 2002) have chosen a POM of 20 cm from the rooting point.”
Liana diversity, abundance, and mortality in a tropical wet forest in Costa Rica (2004, methodology): “…and Barker, 2000, Schnitzer et al., 2000, Horvitz and Koop, 2001, Laurance et al., 2001, Nabe-Nielsen, 2001, Perez-Salicrup et al., 2001, Schnitzer and Carson, 2001, Burnham, 2002, Phillips et al., 2002, Schnitzer and Bongers, 2002), the ecology of lianas in most forests is still poorly understood.”
Oligarchic dominance in western Amazonian plant communities (2005, background): “…Amazonian lowland forests to be dominated by limited sets of species that combine high landscape-scale frequency with high local abundance and at least sometimes form predictable oligarchies over wide landscapes (Burnham 2002, 2004; Pitman et al. 2001, Terborgh et al. 1996, Vormisto et al. 2004a).”
Recruitment of lianas into logging gaps and the effects of pre-harvest climber cutting in a lowland forest in Cameroon (2004, methodology): “Evol., 16 (2001), pp. 45-51 Burnham, 2002 R.J Burnham Dominance, diversity and distribution of lianas in Yansunı,́ Ecuador: who is on top?”
