Quiz: Forest Ecosystem

Quiz 4
1. Though underappreciated, novel forests are an important ecosystem for many different plant and animal species. They are a mix of native and non-native plants that compose an entirely new type of forest. Since the land was previously used as a cattle pasture, the soil will be severely compacted, leaving little space in the soil for air, water, and other nutrients to reach the roots of plants that germinate. To assist with the development of the soil, going in to aerate soil on bare land and around the trees that have begun to colonize the land will aid them in receiving the water, oxygen, and other nutrients they need to thrive. Aerating the soil would solve the issues caused by it being compacted and make it easier for more trees
