Emergence definition

Land covered with trees and shrubs but with less density and canopy closure than a forest emerges from the organized arrangement of trees, which are living systems involving plant and life, and the physical properties of earth, where the patterns of growth and development give rise to a complex system, and the earth's physical properties provide a context for this system to exist.
