Spatial heterogeneity of light and tree sapling responses in the understory of disturbed montane forests

Attributes and frequency of forest gaps are usually described in reference to a one-dimensional gradient of light, which may relate to their disturbance dynamics. Similarly, species are customarily classified by their light response. We propose that a bi-dimensional light framework facilitates the u...
