la couverture des cultures par la canopée


Explanation:
ou: la canopée couvrant les cultures

D'après le contexte, c'est à mon avis l'idée que veut faire passer cette phrase: il
faut une photo montrant la relation entre les cultures et les arbres qui les dominent, peut-être parce que cela influence l'ensoleillement et/ou le rendement

neutral  Francis Marche: Oui. Sauf que "couvert végétal" est le terme français qui traduit "plant cover". Il est quand même question de canopée ici.

  -> Merci pour votre remarque Francis, mais je crois savoir que si au sens strict canopy concerne les arbres, au sens général il s'agit bien de la couverture végétale d'une culture quelconque, contrairement au français canopée
