A better understanding of plant communities can be achieved by incorporating data of traits and dynamics into surveys. Wood density is a good predictor for growth and mortality in trees, but to date, no studies of lianas include all three. We examine how liana communities respond to environmental gradients and forest fragmentation in terms of abundance, diversity, size structure, mortality, relative growth rate and wood density, and tested how the latter three are related to each other in liana species.
