e study was conducted to determine the factors that in�uenced liana species richness and structure in forests of different disturbance intensities (high, moderate, and low disturbance forests) in the Southern Scarp Forest Reserve, Ghana. Within each forest, lianas (dbh ≥ 2 cm) were enumerated in six 25 × 20 m 2 plots located along transects. Soil physicochemical properties and forest structure were determined within the plots. Liana species richness and abundance were signi�cantly lower in the high disturbance forest ( 0 00 ) whereas basal area was signi�cantly higher in the low disturbance forest ( 0 0 ). Tree abundance and dbh signi�cantly predicted liana species richness and structure in the study ( 0 05). On the basis of the importance value index, three main liana communities, each corresponding with a forest type, were identi�ed. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that exchangeable magnesium and calcium, and total exchangeable bases were the main soil variables that affected liana species richness. Liana structure was in�uenced by the above-mentioned soil variables as well as exchangeable potassium and sodium, and pH. e present study has demonstrated that changes in liana species richness and structure following human disturbance may be due to variations in soil properties and forest structure.
