Treefall Gap. A treefall gap is a distinguishable hole in the canopy of a forest with vertical sides extending through all levels down to an average height of 2 m (6.6 ft) above ground. [1]
A tree fall forms a light gap, which stimulated growth, resulting in an increase in the stem density on the forest floor. Thus, in turn, allows multiple trees to grow back and ecosystems to prosper. Studies of gap dynamics have provided evidence for understanding many small disturbances in an ecosystem. Conifer forest
Tree size and current growth rates for all species were highest in full open conditions. In large and medium gaps (300–1000 m 2), the largest trees of all species occurred in the middle gap position, with little difference between the sunny north and shady south positions, lodgepole pine excepted. The light advantage expected off the north ...
The Sycamore Gap tree or Robin Hood tree is a 150-year-old sycamore tree next to Hadrian's Wall near Crag Lough in Northumberland, England.Standing in a dramatic dip in the landscape created by glacial meltwater, it was one of the country's most photographed trees and an emblem for the North East of England.

The Northumberland National Park authority said it was investigating what had happened.
Large trees in a patch receive most of the incoming radiation and shade smaller trees (asymmetric light competition). Second, trees compete for space. Trees in crowded patches are reduced by increasing mortality. Third, between neighboring patches, the gap created by the falling of a large tree increases the local mortality rates.
Laws regarding liability are more clear in some states than others, but generally speaking, when a tree falls during a storm it’s considered an act of nature. And in many cases, it’s not your ...
