Short and Long-Term Soil Moisture Effects of Liana Removal in a Seasonally Moist Tropical Forest
Lianas (woody vines) are particularly abundant in tropical forests, and their abundance is increasing in the neotropics. Lianas can compete intensely with trees for above- and belowground resources, including water. As tropical forests experience longer and more intense dry seasons, competition for...
