(See figs. 34, 35.) Trees which oc- cupy the ground to the exclusion of all others do so because they sncceed better, under the condi- tions, than their com- petitors. (See fig. 37.) It may be that they are able to get on with less water, or to grow on poorer soil, their rate of growth or x)Ower of re- production may be greater, or there may be some other reason why they are better fitted for their surroundings. But the gregarious trees are not all alil^e in their ability to sustain themselves in different situations, while the differences between some of the mixed forest species are very marked indeed.
