Tree regeneration responds more to shade casting by the overstorey and competition in the understorey than to abundance per se [PDF]
Manipulating the overstorey is the key tool for forest managers to steer natural regeneration. Opening up the canopy does not only create favourable light conditions for tree seedling growth, but also for (competitive) understorey species.
