Abstract:
Data on prevalence of lianas in tree crowns for 21 tree species from Barro Colorado Island in Panama. All trees were = 20 cm dbh, and were sampled in the 50 ha plot in 1996 and 2007 and in four 4-ha plots located near the 50 ha plot in 2005 and 2015 (Visser et al. 2018, JEcol). For each tree, crown liana infestation status was evaluated from the ground using binoculars in the years defined above(more details in Visser et al. 2018, JEcol). Each tree is then classified as liana-free (F) or liana-infested (I) in the initial census, and as F, I, or dead (D) in the final census.
