Cobertura De Copas Como Indicador De Desenvolvimento Estrutural De Reflorestamentos De Restauração De Matas Ciliares No Médio Vale Do Paranapanema, SP, BrasilThis study analyzed crown cover in riparian forests 1 to 3 years after reforestation in the Médio Vale do Rio Paranapanema, São Paulo, Brazil to evaluate the technique as a means to monitor the progress of restoration. Using a line inspection technique, crown cover significantly correlated with age, height, basal area, and DBH. The authors concluded that this is a suitable technique for planted riparian forests up to 3 years in age to evaluate changes in forest structure, and suggest that models might be developed to predict crown cover based on age and site variability.
