CSR strategy/theory- competitors, ruderals(disturbance) and stress tolerators
1 of 10
What are the best plant competitors and why?
Trees- canopy stops light reaching other organisms
2 of 10
What are stress tolerators
Plants living on the forest floor that tolerate stress e.g low light, water nutrients, but optimise their inveetment of resrouces using other adaptations
