This limits the establishment of criterion-related validity for the CKD-SBI.
Light availability, which varies both spatially and temporally (Horn 1971) and exhibits qualitative and quantitative heterogeneity (Valladares 2003), limits the establishment of forest species, determining differences in plant growth and in physiological and morphological plant responses (Sims and Pearcy 1992; Poorter 1999; Valladares and Niinemets 2008).
