How do the Guelder rose adapted to deciduous forest?

The Guelder rose (Viburnum opulus) has adapted to deciduous forests by thriving in the dAppled light that filters through the tree canopy, allowing it to grow in understory conditions. Its broad leaves maximize photosynthesis during the growing season, while its ability to tolerate a range of soil types helps it establish in varied habitats. Additionally, the Guelder rose produces attractive flowers and berries, which attract pollinators and birds that aid in its reproduction and seed dispersal, facilitating its spread in these ecosystems.
