A plant community is a group of different plant species that coexist in a specific area, sharing similar environmental conditions. These communities can vary widely, from dense forests to open grasslands, and are influenced by factors such as soil type, climate, and water availability. Each species within the community plays a role in the ecosystem, contributing to biodiversity and stability. Interactions among plants in a community can include competition for sunlight, nutrients, and space. Some plants may also form symbiotic relationships with fungi or bacteria, enhancing their growth and survival. Understanding plant communities is essential for conservation and ecosystem management.
