Leaf dynamics of eight tropical rain forest species seedlings was studied in three environments: the shaded forest understorey, a small gap of Β±50 m, and a large gap of Β±500 m. Leaf production rate and leaf loss rate were enhanced in gaps, and a large gap resulted in larger increases than a small ga
