Sentence examples for canopy strata from inspiring English sources

As for the various tree canopy strata, we found only in young stands significant differences in defoliation intensity between them, with the dominant trees most affected.

The proposed forest characterization categories allow for quantification of gaps (above bare ground, low vegetation and medium vegetation), canopy cover and its vertical density as well as the presence of various canopy strata (low, medium and high).

Regeneration density was not explained well by the presence of overstory ash prior to EAB introduction, suggesting that competitive interaction with other tree species in higher canopy strata is an important driver of ash regeneration density.

Additionally, several studies have paid special attention to the vertical variation of species by comparing the different layers of canopy strata constituting home gardens (e.g., de Clerck and Negreros-Castillo 2000; Fernandes and Nair 1986; Gajaseni and Gajaseni 1999).

Stand basal area and the three diameters were used to predict the diameter distribution of each stratum (species or canopy layer) present in the stand.

Here, we use data from twelve differently managed cocoa agroforestry systems in Indonesia to investigate the abundance, diversity and composition of spider communities at three spatial scales: (i) stratum, i.e. litter, herb and cocoa canopy layer, (ii) plot-level shade, litter and weed management and (iii) landscape context, i.e. distance to natural forest.

One of the main limiting aspects in the application of crown fire models at landscape scale has been the uncertainty derived to describe canopy fuel stratum.

In addition, spatial distribution of individuals and species across forest strata (canopy vs. understory) was tested.

This finding indicates that A. tapirellum is not restricted to the ground, but uses both vertical strata (e.g., canopy and ground) to seek hosts.

A stratification was done where forests with more than 70%% of canopy cover were considered as dense strata (i.e. closed canopy) and less than 70%% as sparse strata (i.e. open canopy).

Across all samples, 80% of species were found in only one stratum (205 in the canopy, 180 on the ground and eight in subterranean samples), 17% in two strata (a total of 62 species in the canopy and on the ground, a total of 18 species on the ground and in subterranean samples, and only one species total in canopy and subterranean samples) and 3% in all three strata.
