There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

No, but every canopy helps cool the ground, retain water, and deep roots help bring nutrients up and produce softer soil for other plants' roots.
So, not every canopy has its grove, especially for trees that evolved seeds that tend to travel far, but nigh every canopy produces positive results around it!
... Depending on what the other plant species in that canopy want, of course, as some plants love direct sunlight, but most plants cannot live in an open field and need help retaining water, cannot handle full daylight, need protection from wind, etc.
