In conclusion, from our results, the cherry forest is comprised of smaller trees that are more tightly packed whereas the palmetto forest is coated with large trees that have decent spacing between themselves. The light intensity is drastically lower in the Cherry forest and this is mainly due to the fact that the leafy branches combined with the dense forest blocks out the vast majority of sunlight from reaching the ground. The pH of the forests don't differ that greatly so the tree's prefrence in geographic location does not contrast as much as one would think.
