Forests can have very rich biodiversity
Structurally complex, with many niches; provide food
and shelter for multitudes of species
Plant diversity leads to greater overall diversity
Succession changes species composition
Old-growth forest
diversity exceeds
that of young
forests due to
higher structural
diversity, habitats,
and resources
