![]() Original 3D-tree structures were retrieved employing terrestrial laser scanning and quantitative structure models, and subjected to two pruning treatments at low and high intensities. ![]() Aiming to increase the understanding of light management strategies, we simulated the pruning of wild cherry trees and compared the shading effects of the resulting tree structures over a complete growing season, with fine spatiotemporal resolution. The amount of available light at ground level can be modified by artificially pruning the overstory. Light is a limiting resource for crops within integrated land use systems especially those including woody perennials.
