Different species of trees in a forest ecosystem compete for resources such as sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil. Taller trees may overshadow shorter ones, limiting their access to sunlight, while all trees seek water and essential minerals, leading to root competition. Additionally, trees may compete for space to grow, which can affect their overall health and reproduction. This competition shapes the structure and dynamics of the forest ecosystem.
Trees and grass compete for sunlight and water. As the tree grows taller and thicker, it shuts off light to the grass below. Some trees such as maples have shallow roots that go out under the grass and take a good share of the water that the grass needs to survive.
It is usually trees that compete for sunlight. The taller trees get more of the sunlight while the trees under it do not get as much because the taller trees are blocking the sunlight
They use sunlight,water,food and shelter
when there are few resources
Yes, they do.
they compete by trying to grow faster
The need to invest large financial resources in order to compete creates
they dont
nothing
Since there is not unlimited trees to make nest in, I'd say they do compete for shelter.
Ecological equivalents live in niches with similar resources, and have similar adaptations but since they live in different regions, they do not compete.
