How Does a Forest Stay Healthy for Years?

Forests have a special teamwork system. Just like in a game, trees and animals work together so no one gets too strong or too weak. When some trees fall down, new ones grow up to take their place. Animals help spread seeds so more plants can grow. This keeps the forest happy for many years.

Examples

  1. A fallen tree in a forest lets sunlight reach the ground, helping new saplings grow.
  2. Birds eat berries from one part of the forest and drop seeds in another place.
  3. When a big storm knocks over some trees, smaller trees take their place and keep growing.
