REMOTE SENSING TOOLS FOR DETECTING AND QUANTIFYING LIANAS AND TREES AT THE TROPICAL DRY FOREST
DownloadSpring 2021
Lianas are woody thick-stemmed climbers that use host trees to reach the forest canopy. Studies have shown a remarkable increase in liana abundance in the last two decades, while others have shown that liana abundance is associated with detrimental effects on forest dynamics. Liana abundance...
