ABSTRACT

A forest is a vegetation dominated by trees with interlocking branches. A tree has a bole of up to or greater than 5.0 metres. Many plant species existing in the forest have been identified, described and botanical name given to each species. In a forest, trees are classified as the emergent, the upper tree canopy, the lower tree canopy, and the shrubs and herbaceous layer. In a mature forest, the shrub and herbaceous layer is very open. It was only within a large tree fall gap that numerous seedlings attempting to occupy the gap that obstruction of vision for 50.0m distance was observed.
