Effects of Gap Size and Cardinal Directions on Natural Regeneration, Growth Dynamics of Trees outside the Gaps and Soil Properties in European Beech Forests of Southern Italy

Effects of Gap Size and Cardinal Directions on Natural Regeneration, Growth Dynamics of Trees outside the Gaps and Soil Properties in European Beech Forests of Southern Italy

The present study was focused on how cardinal directions inside gaps of different sizes (small, 200 m<sup>2</sup>; medium, 400 m<sup>2</sup>; and large, 600 m<sup>2</sup>) can affect soil characteristics and tree regeneration. Additionally, the effects of gap size...
