Increasing liana frequency in the understorey of temperate European forests is driven by ivy.
Original language description
Increasing woody liana prevalence has been widely observed across the neotropics but observations from temperate regions are rarer. Using a resurvey database of 1814 (quasi-)permanent plots from across 40 European study sites, with a median intersurvey interval of 38 years, and ranging from 1933 (earliest initial survey) to 2015 (latest resurvey), we show that liana occurrences have also increased in the understories of deciduous temperate forests. Ivy drives this increase across space and time, showing an average 14 % proportional occurrence increase per site. Enhanced warming rates, denser shade, and historical management transitions explain some of the variation in ivy frequency response across the whole dataset, despite surveys coming from across continental gradients of environmental conditions. Revealing the mechanisms driving ivy expansion, and any consequences for forest structure and functioning, requires further research. Given the magnitude of ivy frequency increase in the understorey though, and its possible impacts, scientists, policy makers and resource managers need to be mindful of the patterns, processes and implications of any potential ‘lianification’ of temperate forests.
