Local Forest Structure and Host Specificity Influence Liana Community Composition in a Moist Central African Forest by Begüm Kaçamak, Maxime Réjou‐Méchain, Nick Rowe, Vivien Rossi, Nicolas Barbier, Samantha Bazan, Eric Forni, Daniel Guibal, David J. Harris, Grace Jopaul Loubota Panzou, Jean‐Joël Loumeto, Eric Marcon, Bruno X. Pinho, Isaac Zombo, Sylvie Gourlet‐Fleury

“…ABSTRACT Lianas are important components of tropical forest diversity and dynamics, yet little is known about the drivers of their community structure and composition. Combining extensive field and LiDAR data, we investigated the influence of local topography, forest structure, and tree composition on liana community structure, and their floristic and functional composition, in a moist forest in northern Republic of Congo. …”
