Which forest would be more likely to survive a disease a forest made up of one type of tree or a forest made up of many types of trees?

Well, it depends on the type of tree and the disease but in general, a forest with many types of trees probably has a better survival rate as diseases can affect certain types of trees differently. So if you had a disease that could kill one type of tree and a forest made only of that type, all the trees would die.

What are the names of different tree leaves and how can they be distinguished from one another?

There are many different types of tree leaves, each with unique characteristics that can help distinguish them from one another. Some common types of tree leaves include lobed leaves, needle-like leaves, palmate leaves, and compound leaves. These leaves can be distinguished by their shape, size, texture, color, and arrangement on the tree. Lobed leaves have deep indentations or "lobes," needle-like leaves are long and slender, palmate leaves have multiple lobes that radiate from a central point, and compound leaves are made up of multiple leaflets attached to a single stem. By observing these characteristics, you can identify and distinguish different types of tree leaves.
