The role of shade in maintaining alternative stable states between open‐ and closed‐canopy vegetation

Fire is commonly identified as strong driver of alternative stable states such as adjacent open‐ versus closed‐canopy vegetation types. The absence of open‐canopy species from closed‐canopy understoreys, where light availability is low and dynamic, however, suggests shade tolerance is an integral de...
