- Abstract:
- Despite the importance of light availability for many physiological, developmental, and demographic processes influencing forest regeneration, a number of aspects regarding the sun-shade responses, growth, and survivorship of tree seedlings in canopy gap environments are poorly understood. Using four sympatric species of birch (Betula populifolia, B. papyrifera, B. lenta, B. Alleghaniensis) as a model system [four broad questions are addressed]...
