    The struggle among trees is known as competition. Trees compete for resources such as sunlight, water, and nutrients in order to survive and grow. This competition can be fierce, with trees competing for space and access to these vital resources. Trees that are better adapted or have a competitive advantage are able to outcompete others and thrive, while those that are less successful may struggle or even die. This competition among trees is a natural process that helps to maintain the balance and diversity of forest ecosystems.
