Bamboos and grasses are their favourite food, but saplings, tree leaves and twisted lianas are all taken, with little care.

竹子跟草是它们最爱吃的食，但幼树、树叶及植也会被它们一并拔起。

There are a lot of lianas, or vines.

里有很多植。

This is the liana or vine that connects heaven and earth.

是连接天地的。

And this is important because we know the neighboring competitors and the lianas that colonize their crowns have negative effects on these trees.

一点很重要，因为已知邻近的竞争者和那些在其树冠上定居的本植对些树木有负面影响。

And also the lianas, so these are woody vines that colonize their crowns, they're dying as well.

还有本植，些是侵占它们树冠的木质，它们也在死亡。

The rest of its body lies within the tissues of a liana, on which it feeds.

它身体的其余部分位于本植的组织内，它以本植为食。

So having this removal of the competitors and lianas should have the opposite benefits, right?

因此，清除些竞争者和本植应该会产生相反的好处，对吧？
