Lianas (woody climbers) have a greater amount of leaves relative to basal area or standing
biomass than trees, and very wide vessels that permit efficient water transport. These
features suggest that lianas possibly consume proportionally more water through
transpiration than trees. Despite their potential importance, researchers have made only
limited attempts to evaluate effects of lianas on forest water dynamics. We conducted sap
flow measurements for 1 year using a thermal dissipation method for four species each of …
