• Causes and implications of the correlation between forest productivity and tree mortality rates (2011, background): “Trees with heavy liana loads at BCI experience reduced growth and increased mortality rates (Putz 1984, Ingwell et al. 2010), a consequence of competition for both light and belowground resources (Schnitzer and Bongers 2002, Schnitzer et al. 2005, Ingwell et al. 2010).”
• Weak Competition Among Tropical Tree Seedlings: Implications for Species Coexistence (2008, background): “Other situations where competition among seedlings may intensify, particularly belowground, are in treefall gaps, where survival and growth rates increase concomitantly with light availability (Schnitzer et al. 2005), or following community masting events, which can lead to extremely high seedling d”
• Above-ground biomass and productivity in a rain forest of eastern South America (2008, background): “However, part of these differences can also be explained by a larger abundance of lianas in the GP plot, which may have suppressed the growth of trees (Campbell & Newbery 1993, Schnitzer et al. 2005).”
• Lianas may be favoured by low rainfall: evidence from Ghana (2007, unknown): “Schnitzer et al. (2005) obtained experimental data to show that liana seedlings out-compete tree seedlings, primarily through effective root competition.”
