When a treefall gap forms, there is a distinguishable difference in the amount of light that penetrates through to the lower levels of the forest; [8] however, the amount of light that is now able to penetrate depends on how big the gap actually is. [8] A treefall gap that is only 5 meters in diameter will allow less light to reach the ...
Treefall gaps in the Amazon allow sunlight to reach the forest floor. Gap dynamics refers to the pattern of plant growth that occurs following the creation of a forest gap, a local area of natural disturbance that results in an opening in the canopy of a forest. Gap dynamics are a typical characteristic of both temperate and tropical forests ...
A major occurrence is through previously mentioned treefall gaps. The death of a full-grown tree initiates a treefall gap, where light is exposed to the soil and creates resources for seeds and younger trees. Treefall gaps have been proven to maintain tree diversity by increasing stem density, which in turn can lead to species richness. [2]
As the gap was reduced further, the voltage required to cause an arc began to rise and again exceeded its original value. For a given gas, the voltage is a function only of the product of the pressure and gap length. [2] [3] The curve he found of voltage versus the pressure-gap length product (right) is called Paschen's curve. He found an ...
How our culture contributes to the orgasm gap It’s challenging to get past the notion that penetrative sex is the only kind of sex between a man and woman since, culturally, that’s what has ...

A gap is a geological formation that is a low point or opening between hills or mountains or in a ridge or mountain range. It may be called a col, notch, pass, saddle, water gap, or wind gap. Geomorphologically, a gap is most often carved by water erosion from a freshet, stream or a river. [1]

Crown shyness (also canopy disengagement, [1] canopy shyness, [2] or inter-crown spacing [3]) is a phenomenon observed in some tree species, in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps.
