The Herbaceous Understory Plant Community in the Context of the Overstory: An Overlooked Component of Tropical Diversity

Diversity, 2022
Lowland tropical rainforests harbor the most diverse plant communities in the world, but the herbaceous plants of the understory are often overlooked. To address this knowledge gap, we asked to what extent the understory herbaceous community contributes ...

Photographic assessment of overstory and understory leaf area index in beech forests under different management regimes in Central Italy

Metsanduslikud Uurimused, 2014
Forest understory may be strongly affected by silvicultural practices such as thinning, which simultaneously modulates the overstory canopy cover and influences the availability of light.

Stand age and species traits alter the effects of understory removal on litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics in subtropical Eucalyptus plantations

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2019
Litter decomposition is a crucial ecological process that regulates nutrient cycling. However, the effects of understory plants and overstory trees on litter decomposition and nutrient dynamics are still poorly understood.

MAPPING UNDERSTORY TREES USING AIRBORNE DISCRETE-RETURN LIDAR DATA [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2012
Understory trees in multi-layer stands are often ignored in forest inventories. Information about them would benefit silviculture, wood procurement and biodiversity management. Cost-efficient inventory methods for the assessment of the presence, density,
