Similar to this concept, all trees perform various behavioural tasks that support their grit and survival. One such reaction is known as "crown shyness," which occurs when the tops of trees don't touch. By doing this, a canopy of trees is formed with spaces between them, promoting greater organic development.
This entire process, which is referred to as "crown shyness," occurs when tree crowns do not touch one another, creating gaps that enable plants to share resources and maintain their health. Ramesh Pandey sent this video to his official account on the social networking site Twitter. who is an authentic Indian Forest Service Officer (IFS), demonstrates social distancing techniques used by actual forest workers.
