Answer 2

Forests are characterized by a dense collection of trees and other vegetation. They provide habitat for diverse plant and animal species, regulate the climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, and offer recreational and economic opportunities for humans. Forests are vital for maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity.

Answer 3

* Xeric upland forest occurs mainly in the Shawnee Hills in southern Illinois on sites where the soils are even thinner than those of barrens. The trees have a stunted, gnarly growth form on these nutrient poor, droughty soils. * Dry upland forests grows on steep ridges, along rocky cliffs, and on bedrock outcrops along the Mississippi River and in the Shawnee Hills. Many of these sites were barrens in the past when natural fires were not extinguished by humans. The soils are thin and excessively drained, but the trees are not as stunted as those of the xeric upland forest, which have even thinner soils.

# Barrens means describes a variety of open-canopied forests with understories of grasses and prairie plants. They are a unique combination of forest (oak) opening and prairie surrounded by dry or mesic upland forests with greater canopy cover. Both barrens and savannas have widely spaced trees and understories of grasses, but whereas savannas occur on a range of soils from nutrient poor to nutrient rich, barrens are restricted to poor, thin, excessively drained soils.

Answer 5

Hey this is Roxanne! :)

And precisely from my point this question has many answers!

Well a forest has trees which gives a wildlife to it and animals, obviously for their shelter. Birds, they help the plants in pollination and fertilization in the plants that grow there. River and fertile soil in the deep end of the forest for growing crops and veggies (not forgetting our dear fruits). That's why, did you notice that people like to live more in the forest than in the modern

country and towns we live today (for the crops).
