| Abstract |
|
Spectral distributions of shade light between 400 and 740 mm were measured under corn, sugar maple, oaks, pines, and spruce with a portable recording spectrophotometer. Differences were found between hardwoods and softwoods and between clear cloudy days. An energy maximum at 550 nm, a minimum at 670 to 680 nm, and a very high maximum in the near infrared occurred under all species. Four components of light within a plant canopy can be distinguished: both beam solar radiation and diffused sky radiation are transmitted both directly and indirectly (reflected and scattered). Separate consideration of each of these components leads to great understanding of similarities and differences between light regimes in different stands.
