Leaf Spectra and Weight of Species in Canopy, Subcanopy, and Understory Layers in a Venezuelan Andean Cloud Forest

Table 3

Group average ± standard deviation of coefficient of variation (CV, in %) of leaf means. Groups (Gp.) are canopy (C), sub-canopy (S), and understory (U). Spectra (Sp.): absorbance (𝐴), reflectance (𝑅), and transmittance (𝑇).
