How does energy affect competition in a rainforest?

Energy affects competition in the tropical rainforest due to the dense population of trees found in this region.

Trees are producers and they compete mainly for water, sunlight and nutrients. Sunlight provides the source of solar energy which is instrumental in its photosynthetic process.

The trees form canopies and create competition among the ones who have lower stems and branches while the ones with longer stems continue to grow taller due to the availability of sunlight.

Competition may also affect the organisms living in this region as they compete for food.
