Aesculus glabra may respond to shading by the trunks and branches of still leafless neighbors.
The ability of Aesculus glabra to occupy a wide range of forest environments, from edges to gaps to understory in secondary forest in the current study, to the understory of older forests (Hicks & Michaelis 2009), is consistent with its well-developed plasticity.

It would be expected that these two species would decline relative to those well represented in the lower size-classes, such as Carya cordiformis, Celtis occidentalis, and Aesculus glabra. However, periodic severe floods may provide disturbance that would allow for reproduction of more flood-tolerant species.
