TL;DR: The data confirm that lianaas contribute substantially to tropical forest stem density and diversity, they have highly clumped distributions that appear to be driven by clonal stem recruitment into treefall gaps, and they are increasing relative to trees, thus indicating that lianas will play a greater role in the future dynamics of BCI and other neotropical forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Which agroforestry options give the greatest soil and above ground carbon benefits in different world regions
TL;DR: In this paper, a total of 86 published and peer reviewed studies on soil and above ground carbon sequestration for different agroforestry systems, climates and regions in the world were analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disturbance and clonal reproduction determine liana distribution and maintain liana diversity in a tropical forest.
TL;DR: Clonal reproduction following disturbance explains local liana spatial distribution and diversity maintenance on BCI, whereas negative density dependence and habitat specialization, two prominent mechanisms contributing to tree species diversity and distribution, do not.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in soil organic carbon under perennial crops.

TL;DR: Empirical evidence is presented showing that the FAO perennialization strategy is reasonable, underscoring the role of perennial crops as a useful component of climate change mitigation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
