Influence of the exclusion distance among trees on gap fraction and foliage clumping index of forest plantations
Abstract
Key messageA hypergeometric model is proposed explicitly instead of two previousstochastic models (the Poisson model and Neyman-A model) to describe the topological relationship of trees and the influence of the exclusion distance on gap fraction and clumping index of forest plantation canopies.AbstractGap fraction (GF) and clumping index (CI) play key roles in plant light interception, and therefore they have strong impacts on plant growth and …
