[Effects of light regime on the growth and photosynthetic characteristics of Alnus formosana and A. cremastogyne seedlings].

Three light intensities (100% , 56.2%, and 12.5%) were installed to simulate the light regimes of opening field (cutting blank), forest gap, and understory, respectively, aimed to understand the effects of different light regimes on the seedling growth, photosynthetic characteristics, and biomass accumulation and allocation of alien species Alnus formosana and native species A.
