∙ 13y agoDifferent species of trees compete for different things, the main thing that all trees compete for is sunlight. All trees need sunlight. To get sunlight in a forest you have to be at the top, or adapt to survive with partial sunlight.
They are also competing for water as some trees need lots of water. If it rains and the tree is at the very bottom it won't get any rain on it, because all the trees above it have already gotten it.
