The natural world is full of examples of competition. A few examples of competition in the rainforest are listed here.

1. Plants compete for sunlight in the canopy.

2. Monkeys compete for the better trees with the most fruit.

3. Humans tearing down parts of the rainforest vs. all the animals that make their homes in the trees

What do plants mostly compete in the rain forest?

Plants in the rainforest mainly compete for sunlight, water, and nutrients. With the dense canopy overhead, plants at the forest floor struggle to reach sunlight, while the abundant rainfall can lead to fierce competition for water and essential nutrients in the soil. This intense competition drives plant species to evolve unique strategies to survive and thrive in this challenging environment.


Tropical rainforest plants?

Examples of tropical rainforest plants include orchids, bromeliads, ferns, and epiphytes like air plants. These plants have adapted to the humid and moist conditions of the rainforest to thrive in the diverse ecosystem. They play crucial roles in the rainforest ecosystem by providing shelter, food, and oxygen for a wide variety of wildlife.


How do plants in the emergent and canopy layer compete for sunlight?

Plants in the emergent layer tend to have larger leaves and taller heights to capture sunlight before it reaches the canopy layer. Canopy plants, on the other hand, have adaptions like leaf size and shape to optimize light absorption as they are in the shade of other trees. This competition drives vertical stratification in the rainforest.


Why do many plants grow in a rain forest?

Many plants grow in a rainforest due to the abundant rainfall, high humidity, and consistent warmth that provide ideal conditions for photosynthesis and growth. The diverse range of plant species in the rainforest allows for niche specialization and coexistence. Additionally, plants in the rainforest have evolved unique adaptations to compete for sunlight, water, and nutrients.
