Acer pseudosieboldianum , Acer mono , Quercus mongolica , Fraxinus rhynchophylla , Cornus controversa , Carpinus cordata and Ulmus laciniata . Five individual saplings were examined for each species in gaps and non-gaps, respectively. This study was conducted in Mt. Jumbong which is located within the Mt. Sorak Biosphere Reserve in central Korea. Tree species distribution at the study site in Mt. Jumbong. Species are listed in the order of importance values.
Numbers are in percentages.
Another species with high AsI was Tilia amurensis . PI was in the range between 1.47 and 1.89. Mean area of leaves was also bigger in branches facing non-gaps than gaps, but the difference was not significant either. Comparison of crown architecture among gap-bordering canopy trees in Mt. Jumbong. Comparison of growth responses among species of canopy trees and saplings.
