Examples of competition
... Trees compete for sunlight. Only tall plants that can obtain sunlight survive. Small plants that have germinated in spring do not receive much light in winter and are shaded by taller plants and therefore die (intra-specific). Cactus plants compete for water. They are not found very close togeth ...
