APPENDIX CXV. Simulated gradient positions for Bisley Experimental Watershed
Plots divided into three growth categories (see Appendix C-XIV). Values averaged for each growth category. Radiation values were simulated for the top of the canopy, then adjusted based on percent basal area damaged and by the Average Pioneer Index of the recovering vegetation (see text). * indicates plots not located correctly in gradient space of water and solar radiation, for each method of quantifying radiation values.
