An appraisal of the classic forest succession paradigm with the shade tolerance index. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In this paper we revisit the classic theory of forest succession that relates shade tolerance and species replacement and assess its validity to understand patch-mosaic patterns of forested ecosystems of the USA.

Traits controlling shade tolerance in tropical montane trees. [PDF]
Tree Physiol, 2020 Abstract Tropical canopies are complex, with multiple canopy layers and pronounced gap dynamics contributing to their high species diversity and productivity. An important reason for this complexity is the large variation in shade tolerance among different tree species.

Associations between shade tolerance and wood specific gravity for conifers in contrast to angiosperm trees: Foundations of the conifer fitness‐enhancing shade tolerance hypothesis [PDF]
Plant-Environment InteractionsFor decades, researchers have held that wood specific gravity was an indicator or surrogate for both shade tolerance and successional status. However, recent research in dry tropical forests has shown very different associations regarding wood specific ...

Shade effect on growth, yield, and shade tolerance of three peanut cultivars [PDF]
Jurnal Agro, 2020 Peanut, which is commonly planted in interculture and intercropping system, often suffers from shading caused by associated plants. This experiment aimed to study the effect of different shade levels of three peanut cultivars on the growth and seed yield,

Transcriptome analysis of shade avoidance and shade tolerance in conifers [PDF]
Planta, 2019 Gymnosperms respond differently to light intensity and R:FR; although some aspects of shade response appear conserved, yet underlying mechanisms seem to be diverse in gymnosperms as compared to angiosperms. Shade avoidance syndrome (SAS) is well-characterized in the shade intolerant model species Arabidopsis thaliana whereas much less is known about ...

Tree seedling shade tolerance arises from interactions with microbes and is mediated by functional traits [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Shade tolerance is a central concept in forest ecology and strongly influences forest community dynamics. However, the plant traits and conditions conferring shade tolerance are yet to be resolved.

Large-scale evaluation of soybean germplasm reveals geographic patterns in shade tolerance and identifies elite genotypes for intercropping systems [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyShade tolerance is crucial for developing soybean varieties that are well-suited for intercropping systems. This study evaluated 460 soybean accessions from a global germplasm collection at two contrasting locations in China: Heilongjiang (HLJ) and Inner

SHADE TOLERANCE IN TREE SEEDLINGS [PDF]
New Phytologist, 1967 SummarySeedlings of five tree species of different shade tolerance were raised in full daylight and in three degrees of shade. Leaf chlorophyll content, the rate of respiration in darkness at 30°C and photosynthesis rates at 30°C over a range of light intensities, were measured in each case.

St. Augustinegrass - Made for the Florida Shade?
EDIS, 2004 Landscapes generally contain areas where turfgrass will grow under some degree of shade for some part of the day. Turf will often decline over time in heavier shade, which may not allow full sunlight throughout the day.
