B)  a tree species that requires full sun

Clear-cut

A forestry or logging practice where all trees in an area are uniformly cut down, often used for timber production but criticized for environmental impact.

Acid Soils

Soils with a pH level below 7, often resulting from heavy rainfall, certain parent material, or anthropogenic sources, which can affect plant growth and soil biology.

Alkaline Soil

Soil with a pH value above 7, characterized by a high concentration of carbonate and bicarbonate ions, affecting nutrient availability and plant growth.
