A. aLiana loads and their association with Bertholletia excelsa fruit and nut production, diameter growth and crown attributes.h[electronic resource] c2006 aWe investigated the association between lianas and Bertholletia excelsa (Brazil nut), along-lived, emergent tree of significant ecological and economic importance in Amazonia. Our objectives were: (1) to determine the relationship between crown liana load and liana number, basal area, and origin in relation to the B. excelsa host; and (2) to determine the relationship between liana load and B. excelsa fruit and nut production, diameter growth, and crown form, position and area. aBrazil nuts aEcological competition aLianas aParasitic plants aWeeds aBertholletia excelsa aCastanha do pará aCompetição biológica aErva daninha aCastanha do brasil aCompetencia ecológica aLiana aMalezas aNuez del Brasil aPlantas parásitas1 aWADT, L.
