Responses of forest herbs to available understory light measured with hemispherical photographs in silver fir-beech forest in Croatia

摘要

in this research we investigated response of forest herbs to available light conditions in the forest of silver fir (Abies alba) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) which are most frequent altimontane forest on Croatian karst, using the hemispherical photographs for measuring available light. In addition to this, we tested the possibility of estimation light condition parameters on the large areas using the remotely sensed data, as potential support to the spatial prediction of phytodiversity and particular plant species occurrences.
