Intro to Botany
Competition refers to the interaction between organisms, typically of the same or different species, where they vie for the same resources such as light, nutrients, and space. This struggle for resources can influence population dynamics, community structure, and the overall health of ecosystems. In plant communities, competition can drive species diversity and distribution, while in the context of ecological succession, it plays a critical role in determining which species establish and dominate following disturbances.
