When one or a few canopy trees die (or are injured) in a forest, small openings, which are called 'gaps,' are formed in the forestcanopy and are then filled with other trees. This sort of forest dynamics is termed gap dynamics; a large number of papers and dataon gap dynamics have been accumulated since the 1970's, and gap dynamics has been described in many forest types. In this review,I introduce the basic concepts of gap dynamics and summarize major issues on gap dynamics relating to tree regeneration, with manyreferences. Although enormous studies on gap dynamics of natural forests have been conducted, applications of gap dynamics toforest practice are limited. However, accumulated knowledge on gap dynamics should be useful for sustainable forest ecosystemmanagement, as much of the literature suggests.
