A tag for lianas. Disclaimer: this tag is currently not in use yet (will update in the future when it does eventually get used). See the tag's page at "Tag:natural=liana".

Description

Lianas are various long, woody vines that are rooted in the soil. They use many means of vertical support (often trees, although it could be just about anything that's vertical) to climb and get direct sunlight.

How it would be used

If the liana is wrapped around a tree, it may be more sensible to tag the tree liana=yes than to create a new, overlapping node.

How to map

Place a node (node) at the location of the moss with the tag natural=liana.
