→Competition between Plants
===Competition between Plants===
: [[Plant]]s may '''compete''' for [[light]] (for [[photosynthesis]] ) by growing taller and with a wider coverage of [[leaf|leaves]] than other [[plant]]s.
: [[Plant]]s '''compete''' for [[water]] and [[mineral]]s so they grow deep and broad [[root]]s to collect as much as possible.
: [[Plant]]s also '''compete''' to spread their [[seed]]s to fertile areas away from other '''competition'''. This can be done with [[adaptation]]s to [[seed]]s to allow them to be carried away by the [[wind]] or float away on bodies of [[water]].
