Open Space in Canopy Structure
Open Space in Canopy Structure
Objectives
To quantify forest canopy free space, element density (clutter), and the distribution and relative abundance of coarse canopy elements at six sites: two boreal (south-central Alaska), two temperate (Washington State and Victoria, Australia), and two tropical (Pacific Costa Rica and Malaysian Borneo).
Metadata
Locations: southeast Alaska, Costa Rica, Victoria (Australia), Sabah (Malaysian Borneo), and our study plots in Washington. *** Data are NOT available for Australia
Funding Information: the Global Forest Society (GF-18-2000-114), the Expeditions Council of the National Geographic Society, and the National Science Foundation for an ROA supplement (BIR 99-75510) to N. Nadkarni and J. Cushing
Keywords:
- forest canopy structure
