DESCRIPTION:Changes in precipitation patterns and drought intensity are pre
 dicted to affect tropical forests community composition and ecosystem dyna
 mics. Lianas are key components of most tropical forests\, and they peak i
 n abundance in seasonally dry tropical forests. Recent empirical evidence 
 points to the increase in liana abundance and biomass as one of the major 
 structural changes in tropical forests\, derived from the predicted increa
 se in drought frequency and intensity. Yet\, it is not known how lianas af
 fect different tropical forest tree species\, or how lianas and trees diff
 er in their response to water availability.\nIn this talk I will review ne
 w evidence for seasonal effects in liana and tree competition and on under
 lying traits explaining lianas and trees distribution patterns. I will als
 o outline the need for a functional trait framework to assess tropical for
 est species drought resistance and vulnerability.
