The effects of changes in the courtyard's geometry and the density of shade trees were determined by simulations.

Cacao landscapes in Ghana have the potential of contributing to forest carbon stocks enhancement by increasing the stocking density of shade trees to recommended levels.

This suggests that there are some characteristics of native vegetation such as the density of shade or air flow that influence the surface temperature.

In this study, we explore whether the ensemble of aerial insectivorous bats is negatively impacted by reduced diversity and density of shade trees in coffee plantations.

We recorded bats in forest fragments and in coffee plantations of differing diversity and density of shade trees; these plantations represented the greatest possible range of management intensities in the area.

Like researchers studying other logged forests, she found evidence of an "edge effect": the density of shade-tolerant seedlings decreased within several hundred meters of the fragment edge, where young trees are more exposed to sun, wind, and competition from invading species.

Overall tree densities and densities of shade-tolerant tree species increased with the absence of fire.

Deciduous trees also vary in the density of the shade they cast with sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), London plane (Platanus x hispanica) and flowering cherries (Prunus) casting unusually dense shade under which relatively few plants will grow.
