Treefall gap: Technology, Measurement, Applications & Research

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. These holes occur as result of a fallen tree or large limb. The initial definition used two metres as it was proposed that "a regrowth height of 2m was sufficient" for a gap to be…
