Abstract
In general, the effect of this small irregular gap on light, soil and air temperature, and soil moisture was influenced by the considerable microsite variation. Furthermore, growth of regeneration and edge trees, resulting in increased interception, shading and water extraction by roots, may have modified the gap effect seen as early as the second year after gap formation.
