A forest is a stand of trees with 100 percent canopy coverage and interlocking crowns. It is a denser version of a woodland.[1]
Plants in forests compete for sunlight, water, nutrients, and carbon dioxide. This creates a high-stress environment that favors stress tolerators. As such, forest gardens avoid mimicry of forest density and actually mimics a woodland.[1]
