Tropical forests are essential components of the earth system and play a critical role for land-surface feedbacks to climate change. These forests are currently experiencing large-scale structural changes, of which the most apparent may be the increase in liana abundance and biomass. The first study that documented liana proliferation in the Neotropics (1) was initially debated but later confirmed by multiple other studies (2). The consensus on liana proliferation led to speculations that this

... henomenon could potentially have large impacts on the carbon cycle of tropical forests. But experimental proof for such speculations was lacking until recently. In their recent study, van der Heijden et al. (3) show for the first time that lianas substantially reduce tropical forest carbon storage. The study is based on a well-developed liana-removal field experiment. The experiment was performed over a limited period (3 y), in an area with particular high liana abundance in Panama, and therefore still needs to be confirmed by long-term studies elsewhere in the tropics. Nevertheless, the results are striking. By comparing natural forests with forests where lianas are artificially removed, the authors found that forests with lianas reached only 24% of their carbon sink potential compared with liana-free forests. Lianas were shown to reduce tree growth and recruitment, to increase tree mortality, and to shift carbon allocation to leaves rather than woody tissue. Based on this study (3) , it is now clear that liana proliferation has a potential high impact on the future carbon cycle of tropical forests. We speculate that this impact might even be strengthened by the long-term impact lianas have on forest species composition and demography. In this context it is striking that currently no single global vegetation model accounts for lianas. State-of-the-art global vegetation models do have problems to realistically simulate the carbon cycle of tropical forest (4). A major source of uncertainty in global vegetation models is their poor representation of demographic processes (5). We are convinced that modeling the ecosystem demography in tropical forests is only possible by accounting for lianas. We therefore suggest that the next generation of global vegetation models should include lianas at least in an implicit way, for example by including liana load as a climate-and disturbance-dependent property of a tropical forest plant functional type. Moreover, for models aiming to simulate vegetation demography in detail, we suggest explicitly including lianas as a functional group. We are convinced that as long as lianas are neglected, vegetation models will not be able to simulate the future of the tropical forest carbon cycle in a realistic way. We admit that comprehensive datasets available for tropical lianas are currently restricted to a few areas and that this hampers model development. Nevertheless we think it is the right time, now, to start developing the concepts of vegetation models that do account for lianas. The process of developing such models will help us to improve our understanding of tropical forest functioning and it will guide the design of future field and experimental studies on lianas.

... central Congo Basin, we quantified height-diameter model performance of local, regional and pan-tropical models for their use in estimating AGB and canopy height. & Methods At three old-growth forest sites, we assessed the bias introduced in height estimation by regional and pantropical height-diameter models. We developed an optimal local model with site-level randomizations accounted for by using a mixed-effects modeling approach. We quantified the error propagation of modeled heights for estimating AGB and canopy height. & Results Regional and pan-tropical height-diameter models produced a significant overestimation in tree height, propagating into significant overestimations of AGB and Lorey's height. The pan-tropical model accounting for climatic drivers performed better than the regional models. We present a local height-diameter model which produced nonsignificant errors for AGB and canopy height estimations at our study area. & Conclusion The application of general models at our study area introduced bias in tree height estimations and the derived stand-level variables. Improved delimitation of regions in tropical Africa with similar forest structure is needed to produce models fit for calibrating remote sensing products.

Intercropping in small-holder production systems in East and Central Africa is very common and offers potential for significant yield and environmental benefits. However, the reduced light availability under banana canopies constrains the success of the intercrop in banana systems. Determining a balance between the optimal spacing/densities of banana plants with optimized intercrop selection based on their sensitivity and tolerance to shade is imperative.

... riments performed in South Kivu, DR Congo investigated the resilience of a wide range of food and forage crops to varying banana shade levels. The same crop species grown as monocrops served as controls. Quantitative yield assessments showed yam, sweet potato, ginger and forage grasses to have a good potential to grow under moderately dense to dense banana fields. Taro, soybean, mucuna, chili, eggplant, and Crotalaria sp. performed well in sparsely spaced banana fields with moderate shading. Cassava and soybean showed limited tolerance to shade. Intercropping in banana systems is also generally confined to the rainy seasons due to the high sensitivity of most annual intercrops to long dry weather in the dry season months. We also thus assessed the sensitivity of chickpea and mucuna to the long dry weather of the dry seasons and found them to have great potential for extending farming production into the dry season. Overall, we show that careful selection and allocation of crops with varying sensitivity to various banana shade levels and dry season weather can potentially increase whole field productivity.

Small-holder banana fields are often intercropped with various annual crops to optimize land-use in East and Central Africa, a practice severely constrained by light availability under the banana canopy. Light availability is not a major constraint in newly established banana fields, giving a window of opportunity to target light-demanding annual crops before shifting to more shade-tolerant crops. This study investigated the performance of climbing and bush beans and the vegetable amaranth in

... nana fields with varying shade levels across three sites in the South Kivu province, DR Congo. These crops were selected for their highly nutritious and good market value and the added benefit of nitrogen fixation for the legumes. We show that both grain legumes and vegetable amaranth can achieve reasonable yields during a first annual cropping season in newly established banana fields, irrespective of the plant density. Declines in yield occurred during a second cropping season in more densely spaced banana fields (2 × 2 m and 2 × 3 m). A greater decline occurred in amaranth and its cultivation should be limited to the first annual cropping season or to less dense banana fields. The legumes could be extended to a second cropping season with reasonable yield. Significant variability in amaranth and legumes performance was observed across sites, with rapid yield declines occurring under more fertile soil conditions due to fast banana growth/canopy formation and under more vigorous cultivars. The choice of banana spacing will need to be tailored to the banana cultivar, soil conditions and the farmers' objectives.
