Midday Depression vs. Midday Peak in Diurnal Light Interception: Contrasting Patterns at Crown and Leaf Scales in a Tropical Evergreen Tree [PDF]
Crown architecture usually is heterogeneous as a result of foraging in spatially and temporally heterogeneous light environments. Ecologists are only beginning to identify the importance of temporal heterogeneity for light acquisition in plants ...

Retrospective analysis of fir sapling growth vs. light interception [PDF]
The natural regeneration of forests may create dense spots of young saplings, but most of these gradually die through competition for light, water and nutrients, leaving only a few individuals with better access to resources still alive. Determining the specific role of light in this plant selection process is difficult because there is no easy way to ...
