Competition in Plants

1:08 Communities
Spec 4.7.1.1
  • Plants, like animals, compete to survive and reproduce.
  • They compete for materials from their surroundings.
  • Essential resources for plants include light, space, water, and mineral ions from the soil.
  • Plants in the same environment compete for these resources.
  • In exams, students should be able to identify the factors for which plants are competing in a specific habitat.
  • An example of plant competition is observed in woodland habitats where trees outcompete grass by blocking light and consuming more water and nutrients with their extensive root systems.
