tree species
Oak or elm
A tree species is a distinct biological classification of trees that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring.
The term appears in forestry, ecology, and conservation contexts: The forest contains over 200 tree species.
Species identification matters for timber harvesting, habitat restoration, and biodiversity assessment: We need to identify the tree species before treating the disease.
