Pacific silver fir and subalpine fir, both typically inhabiting high-elevation forests in northwestern North America, were considered shade-tolerant species, the former more tolerant than the latter. To determine their relative shade tolerance, established advance regeneration was sampled along a light gradient ranging from open areas to inside a forest stand, and analysis of irradiance, growth, and leaf measures was obtained. Relationships between the percentage of above-canopy light (in the photosynthetically active wavelengths) associated with each study tree and its 1991 height increment, 1991 lateral increment, caliper at the base of the 1991 leader, and specific leaf area were examined for individual sites, and sites were grouped according to soil moisture. There were strong, consistent, and similar relationships between irradiance, growth performance, and specific leaf area for both species. As irradiance decreased, growth performance decreased and specific leaf area increased. In spite of ecologic...
