Abstract book and program. Gainesville: University of Floridac2005  ap. 112.  aBrazil nut (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K.) is a long-lived emergent, distributed throughout much of the Amazon?s terra firme forests, and lianas that climb this forest dominant are in a superior position for accessing light. However, traditional ecological knowledge expressed by local extractivists asserts that lianas negatively impact Brazil nut yield. We investigated Brazil nut-liana relations in a 420 ha forest located in Extractive Reserve Chico Mendes in the Western Brazilian Amazon. Our objectives were twofold: (1) To determine the relationship between Brazil nut crown vine loads and vine origin, number, and basal area; and (2) To determine the relationship between vine loads and Brazil nut tree fruit and nut yield, diameter growth, and crown form, position and area.  aBrazil nuts  aConservation areas  aCrop yield  aLianas  aBertholletia Excelsa  aCastanha do Para  aErva Daninha  aProdutividade  aProteção Ambiental  aAcre  aAmazonia Occidental  aAmazônia Ocidental  aÁreas de conservación  aCastanha do brasil  aCipó  aNuez del Brasil  aRendimiento de los cultivos  aRESEX Chico Mendes (AC)  aWestern Amazon1 aWADT, L.
