What is it about?

It compares woody species richness across regeneration between canopy gaps and closed-canopy.

Why is it important?

Results of this paper helps to understand role of canopy gaps in Sal forests.

Perspectives

Gaps are not always areas of higher woody species richness and therefore may be less important than expected for the overall species richness of woody plants. Instead, they are potentially important for enhancing local tree richness by increasing sapling richness.
