Overstory influences on light attenuation patterns and understory plant community diversity and composition in southern boreal forests of Quebec (2006, background): “2001) that have been shown to greatly reduce light levels at the forest floor (Messier et al. 1998; Aubin et al. 2000).”
Can plantations develop understory biological and physical attributes of naturally regenerated forests (2008, methodology): “To describe vertical structure, we sampled the vegetation as described above for every 50 cm in height, from the soil surface to the top of the understory vegetation (around 5 m; see Aubin et al., 2000 for further details).”
On the formation of dense understory layers in forests worldwide: consequences and implications for forest dynamics, biodiversity, and succession (2006, background): “Both papers suggest that this may be due to the lack of an understory layer component in the model and stress that this goal is an ongoing research focus (see also Aubin et al. 2000; Beaudet et al. 2004).”
The role of crown architecture, leaf phenology and photosynthetic activity in promoting complementary use of light among coexisting species in temperate forests (2010, background): “Within the same geographical region, the canopy of closed, evergreen conifer forests intercept a higher proportion of the incident light than broadleaved canopies (Aubin et al. 2000; Messier et al. 1998).”
