Plant ecology

a plant species' capacity to survive and grow under low light, chiefly beneath the canopy of other plants.

In plant ecology shade tolerance is a species' capacity to survive and grow under low light, chiefly beneath the canopy of other plants, and it is a central axis sorting species along light gradients and through succession. Valladares and Niinemets's review synthesises the physiological and life-history traits, from leaf economics to growth strategy and survival, that make a plant shade-tolerant. The referent is an ecological trait measured against light availability, sharing only the word with a colour or a spirit.[1]

Unit
The minimum light at which a plant can survive and grow
Recovery means
Not applicable
Measured by
Gauged by survival and growth across light gradients and by low-light physiology
