Why your scattered vegetation looks fake, and the five rules that fix it

Random scatter is not how nature works. Clustering, attract/avoid species relationships, edge gradients, structured size variation, and terrain logic form five rules that turn procedural placement into a believable ecosystem, with the numbers that make each one work.
