plant competition
In this photo there is some type of vine wrapping around the trunk of this tree. I chose to take this photo because it shows the ecological concept of competition. This photo was taken around 3:00 PM in the forests found on UNCW's campus during Ecology lab, specifically Forest B. A vine uses plants or other supports for growth rather than investing energy in a lot of supportive tissue, enabling the plant to reach sunlight with a minimum investment of energy. In this photo there is interspecific competition among the tree and the vine. Most vines are detrimental to trees affecting their growth. While only the above ground competition can be seen here there may also be below ground competition occurring with the roots of the vine and the roots of the tree.
