Abstract: The transmissivity of the deciduous trees in the upper canopy of tea-fruit tree or-forest complex garden is 2~15% higher than that of the evergreen trees, up to 30% especially in spring. The transmissivity had not remarkable effects on the tea yield, when it was kept more than 55%.The amount of scattered light under canopy at 12 am~2 pm is more than the 11ght saturation point 2.9 J. cm-2· min-1 of tea tree. The amount of scattered light in deciduous trees reaches to 65~80% of total radiation in spring, 45~60% in summer and autumn. The amount of reflected light of tea tree canopy occupies a small part of total radiation, about 5~8% in sunny days, wilhin annual range of 5~10%. The maximum range of daily change is at 10 am~3pm, which reaches to 0.2~ 0.4 J·cm-2·min-1 in summer and autumn. The transmission of tea tree canopy is 500~2000lux. The maximum range of daily change of transmission is 15~20% of total radiation at 4~5pm, and the amount of absorbed light is 80 ~85%.
