From: Using a stand-level model to predict light absorption in stands with vertically and horizontally heterogeneous canopies

Figure 1

Example canopy structures that can be modelled using the stand-level light absorption model. (a) and (b) show simple structures with only one layer and one species but varying in stand density. (c) shows a single-layered canopy containing three species whose crowns overlap vertically, while (d) and (e) show canopies with two layers, each containing either one or two species. Modified from Forrester ([2014]).
