A dataset of Neotropical liana research focusing on the strategies of control for forest restoration and management practices
By Véronique Lesage On 25 July 2022 In All published articles, Data in repository, Data paper, Open Access
Key message Forest fragmentation leads to a micro-environmental condition that favors the proliferation of liana, which infest trees, compete with them, and reduce their performance. To report the state of the art of the main actions to
