Edge disturbance drives liana abundance increase and alteration of liana–host tree interactions in tropical forest fragments

Abstract: Closed‐canopy forests are being rapidly fragmented across much of the tropical world. Determining the impacts of fragmentation on ecological processes enables better forest management and improves species‐conservation outcomes. Lianas are an integral part of tropical forests but can have detrimental and potentially complex interactions with their host trees. These effects can include reduced tree growth and fecundity, elevated tree mortality, alterations in tree‐species composition, degradation of forest succe… Show more

“…Lianas, or woody climbing plants, are widely regarded as significant and defining components of tropical rainforests, as are epiphytes in general (Croat, ; Nadkarni & Matelson, ; Gentry, ; Richards, ; Nieder, Prosperí, & Michaloud, ; Schnitzer & Bongers, ; Díaz et al, ; Schnitzer, ). The deleterious effect of lianas on host trees is well documented as is their role in forest succession and disturbance processes (Putz, ; Schnitzer, Dalling, & Carson, ; Schnitzer & Carson, , ; van der Heijden & Phillips, ; Ingwell et al, ; Schnitzer, Bongers, & Wright, ; Ledo & Schnitzer, ; van der Heijden, Powers, & Schnitzer, ; Campbell et al, ). However, the broader ecological significance of this characteristic group for other critical ecosystem functions, such as their interactions with insects and herbivory, is largely unexplored.…”

“…Trepadeiras têm aumentado a sua abundância e biomassa especialmente De acordo com nossos resultados, de maneira geral, quanto mais árvores com a copa livre ou com poucas trepadeiras, melhor a estrutura da comunidade arbórea (área basal, projeção da copa e densidade de árvores). A abundância de trepadeiras é um preditor importante da taxa de ocupação da copa (CAMPBELL et al, 2018), assim sendo, árvores em locais com trepadeiras em hiperabundância tem maiores probabilidades de terem a copa ocupada. Árvores com a copa intensamente ocupada por trepadeiras tem o dobro da probabilidade de morrer quando comparadas àquelas com infestação leve (INGWELL et al, 2010;WRIGHT et al, 2015).…”

“…Muitos fragmentos degradados de florestas tropicais apresentam densidades altíssimas de trepadeiras, particularmente na borda (CAMPBELL et al, 2018). Trepadeiras em hiperabundância atuam como filtros ecológicos, podendo manter a regeneração natural estagnada por décadas CÉSAR, 2014;.…”
