From: Asymmetric competition increases leaf inclination effect on light absorption in mixed canopies
Effects of the proportion of diffuse radiation on the fraction of incident photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) absorbed by P. halepensis and Q. ilex trees. Lines represent averages per leaf inclination distributions (legend as in Fig. 2). Dashed grey lines represent maximum and minimum values of all combinations of inclination distributions. Results are for a total leaf area index (LAI) of 2, and with Q. ilex trees contributing 32 % of total LAI. Trends were similar with other LAI and pine/oak ratio combinations
