With an optical telemeter devised for this study, the rain forest at "la Piste de St. Elie" in French Guiana is studied as a complex volume distinguishing filled and unfilled volumes as occupied by trees crowns or not. The distribution of these volumes in three different forest types allows to elaborate a continuum from the structure of a twenty years old secondary forest, a perturbed primary forest to an untouched primary forest. In this last type, the same continuum is observed from the gaps in the canopy to parts of the forest where crowns are superposed in three different sets at particular heights. This organisation is the result of the vertical progression of crowns, their horizontal exploration and theirs interactions. A non-cyclic d...
