Influence of light and plant size on the reproduction and growth of small palm tree species: Comparing two methods for measuring canopy openness

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: The reproduction and growth of large palms are influenced by many factors, including light and plant size, but few studies have examined smaller species (up to 2 m tall). We examined the effect of incident light and individual size on growth rates, the probability of reproducti...
