"The trees in the forest are not a randomly organized group, but they make up families and neighborhoods. Scots pines do not grow completely randomly throughout the forest, but remain in the vicinity of their close relatives. This was the conclusion of a new study on the relationships of Finnish forest pines. The average distance between offspring and parent is 54 meters. This result is probably due to the fact that seeds disperse over a shorter distance than pollen." https://t.co/7uKjwSHiRL
