Screening tree species in tropical rainforest according to their shade tolerance is important to efficiently manage the native trees of economic significance in secondary forest enrichment regimes. The objective of this study was to determine the whole-plant light compensation point (WPLCP) and compare the phenotypic plasticity in relation to growth and carbon allocation of Cariniana legalis and Gallesia integrifolia seedlings under low light availability.

弱光条件下两种热带树木的生长和表型可塑性

根据其耐荫性筛选热带雨林中的树种对于有效管理在次生森林富集制度中具有重要经济意义的本地树很重要。这项研究的目的是确定整株植物光补偿点（WPLCP），并比较在低光利用率下与Cariniana lawis和Gallesia integrifolia幼苗的生长和碳分配有关的表型可塑性。
