Liana De Figueiredo Mendes
A liana is a long- stemmed woody vine that is rooted in the soil at ground level and uses trees, as well as other means of vertical support, to climb up to the canopy in search of direct sunlight. The word ''liana'' does not refer to a taxonomic grouping, but rather a habit of plant growth—much like ''tree'' or ''shrub''. It comes from standard French , itself from an Antilles French dialect word meaning to sheave. Ecology Lianas are characteristic of tropical moist broadleaf forests (especially seasonal forests), but may be found in temperate rainforests and temperate deciduous forests. There are also temperate lianas, for example the members of the ''Clematis'' or ''Vitis'' (wild grape) genera. Lianas can form bridges in the forest canopy, providing arboreal animals—including ants and many other invertebrates, lizards, rodents, sloths, monkeys, and lemurs—with paths through the forest. For example, in the Eastern tropical forests of Madagascar many lemurs achieve h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
