I'm not so sure about this as I chanced upon this question while finding another characteristic of the leaf litter habitat. The characteristics I already know are dark and damp/moist.
Hope this helps.
it is dark , dim and damp
Leaf litter is a natural mulch. Mulch insulates against temperature extremes.
A community of animals and plants. The life and the struggles of every living thing. Prey and predators, they make up a small community in a 'lifeless and useless' leaf litter. A snug home is a habitat.

Crickets are type of insect , similar to grasshoppers , include a large number of known species which live in various habitats including leaf litter .
It is not a dicot! Don't you get it? Idiot?
The grasshopper cannot be found in the leaf litter habitat cuz it is not a suitable place and the environment is different from the field habitat

A pseudoscorpion lives in mulch under bark tree and in leaf litter.
Maybe it decomposes the leaves. ( I think so )
Fungi is the decomposer in a leaf litter community,
It eventually breaks down (decomposes) and returns nutrients such as phosphorous and nitrogen back into the soil. Prior to that, it makes wonderful habitat for small animals such as centipedes, certain types of worms, Spiders, some small mammals as well as microorganisms and fungi. Leaf litter is a wonderful indicator of ecological health as well as being a protector of the soil in the case of a wildfire (depending on the leaf litter's density).
Ladybugs favor leafy vegetation, for laying eggs and for feeding the larval and adult stages. That vegetation can range from lower-lying plants, to shrubs and trees. In the fall and winter, they follow leaf drop to the ground. For their autumnal habitats become leaf litter, particularly around fences and trees, and around or under fallen trees and rocks. Also, they may overwinter under leaf litter. Or they may move into people's homes.
Soil litter is made up of leaf "skin" and pieces of leaf that are usually at the top of the horizons of the soil. Often found in forests.

It makes great compost
You can find them in a leaf litter habitat or even the rotting log habitat They also can be found inside chickens. Improved answer: Woodlice also live in damp areas and keep out sunlight.
