Answer 1

a) Tropical hardwood hammock, trees 3ft.

hammock is a localized mature hardwood forest. A hardwood forest is distinguished by a prevalence of broad-leaved trees, as opposed to pines, which normally have softer wood.

Hammocks sometimes occur as tree islands in Everglades marshes, but they are in marked distinction to the wetland tree islands, which are dominated by a temperate swamp flora. In the northern Everglades region, hammocks may be dominated by trees of temperate climate origin such as the live oak or hackleberry, and the occurrence of tropical trees is much more restricted. For this reason, the term tropical hardwood hammock is used for any such hammock.
