Abstract

Three herbaceous species prevalent in the oak forest of southern Wisconsin, Aralia nudicaulis, Parthenocissus vitacea, and Desmodium glutinosum, were studied to determine the effect of light on canopy height. In all three species canopy height responded to changes in light intensity either as reduced by the use of aluminum cages or as increased by clipping the surroundings vegetation. Light is apparently responsible to some degree for the layering effect in the herbaceous understory. See full-text article at JSTOR
