What would you expect to happen to young trees after the mature trees have grown tall and crowded?

Young trees may struggle to receive enough sunlight and nutrients in a crowded environment, leading to stunted growth or even death. They may also face increased competition for resources such as water and space, which can impact their overall health and development. It's important to provide adequate spacing or actively manage the forest to ensure the healthy growth of both young and mature trees.


Why is it easier to walk through an old mature forest of tall trees than through a young forest of small trees?

Walking through an old mature forest is easier because the trees tend to be spaced further apart, allowing for more open space and easier navigation. In contrast, a young forest with small trees can have dense vegetation that makes it harder to walk through due to the tight spacing and obstacles created by the undergrowth.


How old can trees be?

trees don't have to be old to be cut down. in some cases it is illegal to cut down old trees if they are not threatening a building. but if a tree, young or old, is in bad condition and about to fall down it might need to be cut down for safty.


Why do young trees form small branches near the trunk when the larger branches have died?

Young trees form small branches near the trunk as a response to stress and damage caused by the larger branches dying. This is a survival mechanism for the tree to continue growing and photosynthesizing in order to stay alive and healthy. The small branches near the trunk help the tree compensate for the loss of leaves and branches.


How much oxygen does 1000 acres of trees produce?

Around 1000 acres of trees can produce enough oxygen to sustain approximately 240 people annually. This can vary depending on the type of trees, climate, and other factors, but it gives a rough estimate of the oxygen production capacity.
