DOI: 10.1007/s10531-018-1585-z
Abstract: Large areas of formerly oak-dominated woodlands are currently managed for timber products, and if they are used in a conservation-oriented way, they are often abandoned and left to become wilderness. We focused on the situation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jofore/fvaa052
Abstract: In forest ecosystems, canopy openness affects understory light availability, plant growth, and tree species recruitment, thus shaping future forest composition, structure, and functional diversity. Foresters must correctly and quickly measure canopy openness to meet their… read more here.

DOI: 10.1590/2179-8087.116817
Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of canopy openness on the survival and growth of Bertholletia excelsa seedlings, through experimental plantings in tree-fall gaps and forest understory in Madre de Dios, Peru. Sixtyfour seedlings… read more here.
