In a landscape-scale case study, we spatially located the population of large canopy gaps (groups of ≥10 windthrown trees) within a 2400 ha watershed to determine frequency of occurrence on basin and highland landscape types, dimensions, association with topographic features, and direction of treefall as a measure of wind vectors.
However, gap size and association with topographic features were similar between basin and highland landscapes.
