Canopy effects on vegetation caused by harvesting and regeneration treatments (2010, background): “…is rare or impossible in some species (e.g. Poa nemoralis L. in Tyler 1989 and V. myrtilloides in Moola and Mallik 1998, D. flexuosa L. (Trin.) in Strengbom et al. 2004) because specific light and temperature requirements for inducing flower development are not met (Schopfer and Brennicke 2006).”
Understory Vegetation Dynamics of North American Boreal Forests (2006, background): “Light is usually the most limiting resource affecting understory tree and other vascular plant establishment and growth (Chen et al., 1996; Chen, 1997; Strengbom et al., 2004).”
