Riparian shade and light responses to riparian thinning.
Riparian shade and light responses to riparian thinning in northern California second-growth redwood forests. Riparian shade summarized as a) canopy closure (%), b) effective shade (%), and solar radiation summarized as c) below-canopy light (%) for Tectah and Lost Man sites. Data collected in upstream reference (US), thinned (TH), and downstream (DS) reaches during pre-treatment (2016) and post-treatment years (2017 and 2018) for each site. Points indicate mean estimates with error bars indicating 95% confidence intervals. Vertical hashed line indicates the timing of experimental thinning treatments.
