STAGE 2: 15-30 years In this stage the forest has a more closed canopy, resulting in less plant diversity. Trees provide cover and protection for animals, places for birds to roost, and produce cones and seeds. Foresters thin out deformed, diseased, or crowed trees, using them to make products. The re-opened canopy allows for the diverse species of plants to return. |
