While most studies have found lowered tolerance of herbivory in the shade [41] [46], there are also cases of similar levels of tolerance with varying levels of light availability [44], [47].
The deer time their fertility by light availability, not temperature.
Light availability affected population stability indirectly by altering morphological traits.
The overstory species composition also affected understory light availability.
Stine, A. R. & Huybers, P. Arctic tree rings as recorders of variations in light availability.
Light penetration was used to determine the light availability at different positions within the tree canopy.
Its association with a radiative-transfer model to characterize light availability is emphasized.
Hydrodynamics conditions are supposed to affect light conversion in photobioreactors (PBRs), by modifying light availability of suspended photosynthetic cells.
In this forest however, median light availability did not vary with distance to edge (Supplementary Figure 4).
Light availability within trees is an important factor for canopy and fruit development as light drives photosynthetic processes.
