Open Space in Canopy Structure
Objectives
To quantify forest canopy free space, element density (clutter), and the distribution and relative abundance of coarse canopy elements at six sites: two boreal (south-central Alaska), two temperate (Washington State and Victoria, Australia), and two tropical (Pacific Costa Rica and Malaysian Borneo).
