Light measurements were made in a young agroforestry system to assess the radiation distribution below the tree canopy. Measurements show that the variability of the transmitted radiation is mostly due to the size of the tree shadow and to the irradiance distribution in the shaded area. The light measurements were used to test the predictive capacity of a three-dimensional radiative transfer model based on the turbid medium analogy. The model correctly simulates the fraction of sunlit area and the irradiance distribution in the shaded area. However it underestimates low radiation values and fails in describing the fine spatial pattern of transmitted radiation because of the stochastic nature of the radiation field. To obtain a mean error less than 15 of the incident radiation the distribution of transmitted radiation has to be described by elementary soil surface areas over m2. photosynthetically active radiation spatial distribution I canopy geometry agroforestry Prunus avium Resume - Repartition spatiale du rayonnement transmis sous de jeunes arbres en système agroforestier. Dans une plantation à large espacement le rayonnement transmis disponible pour la strate inferieure est très variable dans I espace et dans le temps. Cette hétérogénéité peut avoir des consequences sur le fonctionnement de la strate inferieure. Des mesures de rayonnement utile à la photo-synthèse ont Ểté effectuees pour étudier la distribution du rayonnement sous les couronnes de jeunes merisiers plantés à faible densité. .
