Question
A thunderstorm passes through a New England beech-maple forest. On one end of
the forest a single relatively small beech tree in the canopy is struck by lightening
causing it to fall and create a relatively small gap where sunlight reaches the forest
floor On the other end of the forest, a very large sugar maple tree is hit by lightening
and falls, creating a much larger gap where sunlight reaches the forest floor.
Which type of species would fill the small gap left by the fallen beech tree?
✓ [Select]
mid successional species with seeds distributed by small mammals
early succession species with lighter, durable sees that grow fast and well in the sun
late successional species with large seeds that are shade tolerant
late succession boreal forest trees
