High planting density and leaf area index of masson pine forest reduce crown transmittance of photosynthetically active radiation

High planting density of Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) is perceived to have a major impact on timber production as well as understory biodiversity through changed leaf area index (LAI) and reduced understory photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). However, the quantitative relationship between p...
