• Evidence for arrested succession in a liana‐infested Amazonian forest (2016, unknown): “Because of competition, we expect a negative correlation between liana infestation and tree growth and survival (Clark & Clark 1990; van der Heijden & Phillips 2009; Ingwell et al. 2010).”
• Lianas Have a Greater Competitive Effect Than Trees of Similar Biomass on Tropical Canopy Trees (2012, unknown): “…been shown to reduce tree recruitment, regeneration, and diversity (Schnitzer and Carson 2010), growth (Clark and Clark 1990, Grauel and Putz 2004, Ingwell et al. 2010), reproductive output (Stevens 1987, Wright et al. 2005), and survival (Putz 1984a, Phillips et al. 2005, Ingwell et al. 2010).”
• Increasing Liana Abundance and Basal Area in a Tropical Forest: The Contribution of Long‐distance Clonal Colonization (2013, background): “[18] , Enquist & Enquist [10] ), as well as decreases in tree growth in tropical wet forests (Clark et al.”
• CTFS‐ForestGEO: a worldwide network monitoring forests in an era of global change (2015, methodology): “term increases in the abundance of lianas observed on BCI (Panama) and elsewhere in the tropics (Ingwell et al., 2010; Schnitzer & Bongers, 2011).”
• Resource‐based habitat associations in a neotropical liana community (2012, background): “In turn, high liana loads in forest canopies have been associated with reduced tree growth rates (Schnitzer & Carson 2010), elevated tree mortality rates (Ingwell et al. 2010) and reduced above-ground biomass (van der Heijden & Phillips 2009).”
• Liana Impacts on Carbon Cycling, Storage and Sequestration in Tropical Forests (2013, background): “This estimate is likely conservative because the model omits tree mortality (van der Heijden & Phillips 2009), and increasing liana abundance and biomass will likely lead to higher tree mortality rates (Ingwell et al. 2010).”
• 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).”
