Although alianamay simultaneously utilize several of these climbing mechanisms, it is normally possible to recognize the prevalent climbing mode.From theCambridge English Corpus
Nonetheless, small-diameter lianas were most abundant in the 20-y stands and the largest lianas were found in the forests 70 y old.From theCambridge English Corpus
These data suggest that small lianas may be abundant in the understorey but are not successful in reaching the canopy in older forests.From theCambridge English Corpus
Both crown illumination and tree size were related tolianaabundance.From theCambridge English Corpus
This allows a well-replicated sampling on lianas per life form and species in a relatively uniform environment, a major limitation in highly diverse forests.From theCambridge English Corpus
Low forest was found to contain over four times the weight oflianaleaves as high stature.From theCambridge English Corpus
In addition, 10 randomly selected leaves of eachlianaspecies were weighed and traced onto graph paper to determine leaf area-to-weight relationships.From theCambridge English Corpus
Understorey plants were not identified to species, but were categorized as herbs, ferns, herbaceous vines, palms, t rees and lianas.From theCambridge English Corpus
We sampled lianas in alternate 5-m x 10-m quadrats along each transect (total of eight quadrats/transect, 400 m2).From theCambridge English Corpus
If alianaspecies has positive population growth even in the absence of high-light understorey sites, it is truly shade-tolerant.From theCambridge English Corpus
Open circles and the dashed line represent individuals with lightlianaloads (0-25% of the crown infested).From theCambridge English Corpus
There are no published biomass estimates forlianaforest per se, but they fall into the general category of non-dense forests.From theCambridge English Corpus
Totallianabasal area, and thus estimated biomass, remained relatively constant over stand age.From theCambridge English Corpus
In addition, we evaluated the spatial distribution of lianas.From theCambridge English Corpus
The number of large trees (7.0 + 3.0) per subplot was not correlated withlianadensity or species richness.From theCambridge English Corpus
