Community Interactions: Competition
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Competition is a community interaction where two species or individuals use the same limited resource, reducing both's fitness, whether through direct interference or indirect resource depletion.
Show
Two plant species drawing on the same limited soil nitrogen compete even without any direct contact.
Watch for
Competition need not involve physical confrontation — resource depletion alone produces the same fitness cost as direct interference.
