3. Shade tolerance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shade_tolerance

   In simple terms, shade-tolerant plants grow broader, thinner leaves to catch more sunlight relative to the cost of producing the leaf. Shade-tolerant plants are also usually adapted to make more use of soil nutrients than shade-intolerant plants. [2] A distinction may be made between "shade-tolerant" plants and "shade-loving" or sciophilous ...

4. List of tree species by shade tolerance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tree_species_by...

   A list of tree species, grouped generally by biogeographic realm and specifically by bioregions, and shade tolerance. Shade-tolerant species are species that are able to thrive in the shade, and in the presence of natural competition by other plants. Shade-intolerant species require full sunlight and little or no competition.

5. Shade avoidance - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shade_avoidance

   Flattening of leaves in plants with normally curled leaves also increases surface area for light absorption. [10] If a mature plant becomes shaded, shade avoidance also often prompts changes in reproductive strategies. Plants may flower early, as it is unlikely that growing more structures will result in profitable nutrient gain in the short ...

6. Understory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understory

   The canopy of a tropical forest is typically about 10 m (33 ft) thick, and intercepts around 95% of the sunlight. [1] The understory therefore receives less intense light than plants in the canopy and such light as does penetrate is impoverished in wavelengths of light that are most effective for photosynthesis.

7. Shade (shadow) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shade_(shadow)

   Full shade – less than two hours of direct sun per day. Under a dense forest canopy, light intensity can be very low. Special adaptations produce the shade tolerance that allows plants to survive in the understory. In addition, shade within a canopy can elicit shade avoidance responses whereby plants elongate their shoots in order to reach ...
