What is the key factor in distinguishing a mature forest from a younger forest?

  1. The variety of plant species present

  2. The age of the trees

  3. The height of the trees

  4. The density of the underbrush

The correct answer is: The age of the trees

A mature forest is distinguished by the age of the trees because as a forest ages, the trees within it grow taller and have thicker trunks. This is not necessarily related to the variety of plant species present, as younger forests can still have a diverse range of plant life. Additionally, while the height of trees can often indicate the maturity of a forest, it is not the sole factor in distinguishing it from a younger forest. The density of underbrush, while it can be an indicator of a young forest, is not the key factor in distinguishing it from a mature forest.
