Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A forest stand is a contiguous community of trees sufficiently uniform in composition, structure, age, size, class, distribution, spatial arrangement, condition, or location on a site of uniform quality to distinguish it from adjacent communities.
Detailed explanation-2: -Stratification in the field of ecology refers to the vertical layering of a habitat; the arrangement of vegetation in layers.
