Especially notice the distinct foreground, middle ground, and background elements. One single tree just cloned a ton of times wont create convincing depth.
Foreground elements are defined with exacting branches and unique shapes.
Middle ground elements are more cluttered, and largely serve to define an interesting horizon line shape. Note how large objects like hills, rocks, or knocked over tree trunks can serve to fill in the middle ground, and create more variety rather than just shrubs.
Background elements are desaturated, blurred, and can then be mostly kind of randomized clones, or just a matte painting.
On this one they're using a much more simplified style, but notice how the foreground elements are still the most detailed, while the middle ground actually becomes just a flat 1-color cutout matte painting, and the background is the mountain more desaturated and light due to atmospheric perspective.
