Analyzing Spatial Distribution Patterns of European Beech (<em>Fagus sylvatica</em> L.) Regeneration in Dependence of Canopy Openings

Analyzing Spatial Distribution Patterns of European Beech (<em>Fagus sylvatica</em> L.) Regeneration in Dependence of Canopy Openings

The use of natural regeneration techniques is one of the key elements of modern (close-to-nature) forestry. In natural forests, changes in canopy cover, such as the emergence and successive re-closure of canopy gaps are particularly important, as they influence the light availability on the forest f...
