The inset cover illustration shows how tree crowns sometimes avoid growing into each other, leading to impressive puzzle-like patterns in the canopy. Point clouds of dense forests reveal the presence of this pattern throughout the vertical range of the canopy and enable a quantification of how well the puzzle of tree crowns fits together.
