Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 9TYU
WRITE ABOUT A THEME: INTERACTIONS Giant lycophyte trees had microphylls, whereas ferns and seed plants have megaphylls. Write a short essay (100-150 words) describing how a forest of lycophyte trees may have differed from a forest of large ferns or seed plants. In your answer, consider how the type of forest may have affected interactions among small plants growing beneath the tall ones.
