Spatial Patterning in the Canopy Gap Regime of a Subalpine Abies-Picea Forest in the Northeastern United States

Spatial patterning in the disturbance regime of a forest affects the vegetation dynamics. Therefore, the distribution of canopy gaps was examined in detail for a subalpine Abies-Picea forest in the northeastern United States. Gaps were not randomly distributed. The fraction of forest area in gaps an...
