WHEN IS A GAP NOT A GAP?: LIGHT LEVELS AND LEAF AREA INDEX IN BAMBOO-FILLED GAPS IN A CHILEAN RAIN FOREST CUANDO UN CLARO NO ES UN CLARO?: NIVELES LUMINICOS E INDICE DE AREA FOLIAR EN CLAROS OCUPADOS POR CHUSQUEA QUILA, EN UN BOSQUE LLUVIOSO CHILENO
Bamboos of the genus Chusquea are aggressive colonisers of tree-fall gaps in the temperate rain forests of southern Chile. Chusquea thickets inhibit regeneration of tree species, suggesting that light levels beneath bamboo-filled gaps may be lower than beneath tall forest. Two LAI-2000 canopy analys...
