Aspects of light climate within apple orchards.

Published online: 24 Oct 1971

Authors: Jackson, J. E.

Content type: Journal article

Journal title: Journal of Applied Ecology

The apple orchards studied had discontinuous bush-and hedge-type canopies of mean leaf-area indexes of 1-1-4. These values were low, owing to the exis...
