Small Gap Dynamics in High Mountain Central European Spruce Forests—The Role of Standing Dead Trees in Gap Formation

Small Gap Dynamics in High Mountain Central European Spruce Forests—The Role of Standing Dead Trees in Gap Formation

Gap dynamics are driving many important processes in the development of temperate forest ecosystems. What remains largely unknown is how often the regeneration processes initialized by endogenous mortality of dominant and co-dominant canopy trees take place. We conducted a study in the high mountain...
