Lusher though, looks like temperate rainforest

Nope, not even close. I will try and get some photos, but denseness is hard to capture.

I'm not saying a word lest I be attacked. All I will say is look at the photos from deep southern Georgia of pulled cotton fields versus the photos from Rimini. Enough said.

Depends a lot on the dominant tree species too. For example beech and scots pine tolerate no competition and are almost without dense undergrowth, almost like a savanna.

In Patagonia the Deciduous forest is like this in Summer:




To me,they all are Similar,look at the bright green and small leaves,just means that the leaves does not will stay an long time.

Deciduous Forest Overall are very Similar and well less dense than Evergreens.

Hmm. Some deciduous forest here looks like that, others have a thicker understory

The diference beetween they is that the Deciduous Forest in Patagonia from 40S to 55S are formed only by two Species(N.Antarctica and N.Pumilo). the trees in Photos are N.Pumilo.

While North America have a Great Diversity.

It's a very popular plant in our gardens! We call it "mimosa" in Italian and it is the flower we give to women on March 8th.

The local gardening is quite varied actually

Interesting, they're a weed here, often controlled by helicopter spraying.

Good firewood though. I just chopped down one last week, which was about 10 years old, and large enough to provide a whole winter of firewood.

Wrong. That species has never been recorded in NC.
