From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forest ecology article does contain a lot of relevant information, however is lacking some fundamental areas of content. Little is stated regarding the vast complex interactions between organisms, which is a vital aspect of forest ecology. Another aspect I found to be missing information is the distinct regions and layers that are found with in forest communities. Finally many of the facts lacked sources, and I had difficulty identifying what the specific sources where referring to, due to a lack of information provided in the citation.

How abiotic and biotic factors contribute to the greater ecosystem. There is a part that explains an experiment related to trees planted in a harsher environment versus a forest ecosystem. Both species struggled in the harsher environment, but the native species did worse being out competed by the invasive species that is originally from a harsher environment. They both faired better in the forest ecology, but the invasive species was still more abundant than the native species.[1]
![]() | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content.
