Simultaneous HONO measurements in and above a forest canopy: influence of turbulent exchange on mixing ratio differences [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011 We have combined chemical and micrometeorological measurements to investigate the formation and distribution of HONO throughout a forest canopy. HONO was measured simultaneously at two heights, close to the forest floor and just above canopy.

Characterizing spatiotemporal variations of forest canopy gaps using aerial laser scanning data
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021 Spatiotemporal variations of forest canopy gaps are essential indicators for both forest dynamic monitoring by capturing their size and location variations and forest ecosystem management for tree seedling regeneration through altering the radiation ...

Ice storm effects on the canopy structure of a northern hardwood forest after 8 years [PDF]
, 2009 Ice storms can cause severe damage to forest canopies, resulting in differential mortality among tree species and size classes and leading to long-lasting changes in the vertical structure and composition of the forest.

On the occurrence of bryophytes and macrolichens in different lowland rain forest types at Mabura Hill, Guyana [PDF]
, 1990 A floristic and ecological study of bryophytes and macrolichens in different lowland rain forest types around Mabura Hill, Guyana, South America, yielded 170 species: 52 mosses, 82 liverworts and 36 macrolichens. Lejeuneaceae account for about 30% of the

Measuring rainfall to a forest canopy: an assessment of the performance of canopy level raingauges [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2004 Accurate rainfall measurements are crucial for water resource and environmental assessments but can be difficult to achieve in extensive areas of forest. This paper reviews the different techniques for measuring rainfall to a forest area and presents
