A view from above: using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to enhance ecological understanding of lianas in tropical forest canopies

Lianas play integral roles in structuring community composition, forest regeneration, the maintenance of species diversity and whole-forest level ecosystem processes in tropical forests. With increasing disturbances to forests worldwide, the relative importance of lianas as players in many areas of...
