Effect of canopy structure on the diurnal interception of direct solar radiation and photosynthesis in a tree stand.
The utilization of direct radiation was studied in five model stands of Poisson-type tree distribution and cone-shaped crowns. The radiation extinction depended on the self-shading of the crown and the shading caused by other trees. The results indicate that at low sun elevation a stand p...
