- Association Forest remnants with introduced canopy lianes had high soil pH, low altitude and high temperatures.
- Observation Native lianes were more geographically widespread than introduced lianes.
- Observation Native lianes had broader ecological tolerance than introduced lianes.
- Observation Native lianes occurred in early and mature forest.
- Association Introduced lianes occurred more often in early successional vegetation.
- Association Canopy height affected liane distribution.
- Association Canopy height affected liane abundance.
- Association Climbing mechanism affected canopy height accessible to lianes.
- Association Stem longevity affected canopy height accessible to lianes.
- Observation Parsonsia spp. reached higher host canopies than other climbing forms.
- Observation Ripogonum scandens reached higher host canopies than other climbing forms.
- Association Host light environment affected tree and shrub susceptibility to canopy invasion.
- Association Host architecture affected tree and shrub susceptibility to liane invasion.
