Short summary
Lianas (woody vines) tend to respond positively to disturbance and show high densities in secondary forests. Lianas are a key component of tropical forests because they may reduce carbon potential. Identifying tools for liana detection is therefore essential for monitoring changes in tropical forests. In this study, we describe how terrestrial laser scanning can be used to detect the presence of lianas in forest stands of different ages in secondary tropical dry forests at a regional scale.
