overstory

Examples

• All

• Vickers et al. (2014) reported that increasing residual overstory density affected the height growth of sassafras the least.

  Academic text (2016)

• Here we describe measurements on the structure of the upper canopy and observations on the physiology of overstory leaves.

  Academic text (1992)

• The much larger size of the overstory species in itself results in a much smaller number of species on a site.

  Academic text (1998)

• Further shortcomings occur when using vegetation layers classified solely by overstory dominance.

  Academic text (2008)

• Our model estimates indicate that third-year reproduction abundance from these regeneration sources was largely a function of residual overstory density.

  Academic text (2016)

• Blackgum seedlings are present in most stands where blackgum occurs in the overstory, but almost always in numbers well below those of the more dominant tree species.

  Academic text (2007)

• Similarly, Hoover and Parker (1991) found that species diversity and community diversity of overstory plants were inversely correlated among several Georgia landscapes.

  Academic text (1994)

• The influence of post-disturbance stand conditions was summarized by user-provided estimates of residual overstory density and presence/absence of a residual seed source for each species.

  Academic text (2016)

• In our modeling approach, the various silvicultural regeneration methods under evaluation at MOFEP are viewed simply as manipulations that result in varying overstory density that is retained long enough to affect regeneration and whose effect can vary spatially throughout the stand.

• The animals in the forest find shelter among the branches of the tall trees in the overstory.
