The Influences of Gaps in Different Forest Communities on the Growth of Seedlings of Three Transplanted Tree Species in Nan'ao Island, Guangdong

Abstract

Abstract: Tree seedlings of pioneer species and non-pioneers may respond differently to canopy gaps. We used a field experiment to test this in four forest communities in Nan'ao Island, Guangdong, China. We measured the ratio of light penetration (RLP) in gaps and

Key words: Canopy gap, Pioneer species, Non-pioneer species, Ratio of light penetration, Seedling, Growth heigh
