In a forest, there are a lot of plants; trees, shrubs, and herbs. What will the Palm trees face if they grow in the same forest?
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Intraspecific competition.
- B. Interspecific competition
- C. Environmental competition
- D. All of the above
Explanation
In a forest, palm trees have to face all sorts of competition (intraspecific, interspecific, and environmental). Intraspecific competition is a competition of a species among its own type, palm trees will have to face competition from other palm trees already in that forest. Interspecific competition is competition among different species, palm trees will have to face competition from other species. Environmental competition is the competition exerted by the environment (availability of light, water, and nutrients) on species. Hence option D is correct.
