Point and Purpose: Researchers found that if there are fewer trees of different heights, it
would weaken the ecosystem's ability to survive damage. It would also be devastating if
there were fewer seedlings, or fewer trees that grow to larger tree heights. Why do you
think this would have such a great affect? (Be sure to include information from the article

Answer: This is from the teachers key so don’t fully copy it

Explanation:

When larger trees are lost from the landscape, more pressure is placed on shorter trees. This leads to a loss of structural complexity and an ecosystem that is less able to cope with damage.

When large trees are pushed over by elephants, or cut down by humans, this doesn’t necessarily result in a decline in woodland. This is because many of the trees are able to regrow by coppicing. However, when there is a loss of mature, seed-bearing trees at the same time as an increase in rates of small plants (seedlings) being eaten by animals like elephants, antelope and goats, then this can lead to severe woodland decline.
