A comparison between broad leaf and pine forest.

Martin Hughes-Games investigates variation in leaf material from a pine and broad leaf forest. He discusses why some leaves drop and some leaves stay all year round. He explores why nothing grows on the ground of a coniferous forest and how some trees are adapted to cope with harsh conditions. He explains that both strategies are good: neither is better than the other.
