How do the Dryas and Alder trees help make the soil suitable for spruce trees grow?
Dryas and Alder trees play a crucial role in improving soil conditions for spruce trees. Dryas, a pioneer species, helps stabilize the soil and add organic matter as it decomposes, while Alder trees are nitrogen-fixers that enrich the soil with nitrogen, enhancing its fertility. This combination of improved soil structure and nutrient availability creates a more suitable environment for spruce trees to thrive. Together, they facilitate the transition to a more complex forest ecosystem.
