Several morphological variables were measured after one year of growth under the same environmental conditions. Ea was estimated with the 3-D model Y-plant. The species were classified in four groups according to their Ea Q. rubra-Q. alba Q. faginea-Q. pyrenaica Q. robur-Q. ilex-Q. coccifera Q. suber. Principal component analysis revealed that the constraining morphological variables for maximizing Ea were the total number of leaves and the variability of internode length. Two contrasting growth models were associated with distinct environments and significantly different Ea evergreen Mediterranean species . Q. suber which showed a multilayered crown of many small leaves rendering low Ea versus deciduous non-Mediterranean temperate species . Q. rubra which showed the opposite characteristics. light-harvesting efficiengy Mediterranean Quercus self-shading Y-plant Résumé - Architecture de la couronne et feuillage sont associés intrinsèquement avec differentes efficiences de capture de la lumière chez les semis de chêne en conditions environnementales contrastées. L architecture des couronnes et l efficience de capture de la lumière Ea ont été comparées chez des semis de 8 espèces de chênes dans des environnements .
