Leaf dynamics of eight tropical rain forest species seedlings was studied in three environments: the shaded forest understorey, a small gap of ยฑ50 m, and a large gap of ยฑ500 m. Leaf production rate and leaf loss rate were enhanced in gaps, and a large gap resulted in larger increases than a small ga

Seedling performance, morphology, and leaf characteristics of evergreen tree species from different successional stages of Chinese broadleaved evergreen forests were studied in four simulated gap environments: in 100, 55, 33, and 185o of full sunlight. The first two represent the light regimes of cl
## Abstract The fraction of the surface under forest canopies that is visible from above, or the viewable gap fraction (VGF), influences a number of significant physical processes, such as the longwave radiation budget of the surface and the magnitude of diffuse irradiance. In addition, it has sign
