(Forestry) dense forest found in tropical areas of heavy rainfall. The trees are broad-leaved and evergreen, and the vegetation tends to grow in three layers (undergrowth, intermediate trees and shrubs, and very tall trees, which form a canopy). Also called:selva ...

Forest clearing, burning, and hemp production became important human activities with eutrophication potential, especially during the eighteen and nineteen centuries. During the subsequent five decades, commercial activities and the subsistence economy went into crisis, forcing part of the population to ...
Later results suggested differences in leaf spectral properties, as well as LMA, among species found in different positions of a vertical gradient (canopy, midcanopy, and understory) in a tropical forest [15]. Recent References [1] J. E. Young, “Effects of the spectral composition of light...

Accomplished is the discrete map layer by the CGLS-LC100 forest-type-layer showing the distribution of evergreen needle-leafed and broad-leafed as well as deciduous needle-leafed and broad-leafed forests. Figure 4. Overview of the CGLS-LC100 Collection 2 discrete map and cover fraction layers....
Forest productivity depends on the light interception and tree acclimation to the high irradiance, as well as the nutrient supply, the temperature, and water availability [1]. Light availability within a forest depends on the tree species composition, the proportion of evergreen to deciduous broad-...
Forest stands in the northeastern German lowlands are particularly sensitive because they grow predominantly on sandy soils with low water holding capacity. Furthermore, many coniferous monocultures are being transformed into mixed forests by the re-introduction of broadleaf tree species; however, this ...
