What else can I help you with?
In a northern forest soil what is above the topsoil and how does it form?
Above the topsoil in a northern forest soil, you would typically find a layer of organic material called the forest floor. This layer forms as dead leaves, twigs, and other organic matter decompose over time. The forest floor helps to replenish nutrients in the soil and provides habitat for small organisms.
Why do plants on the forest floor have large leaves?
Plants on the forest floor typically have large leaves to maximize their ability to capture sunlight for photosynthesis. With limited sunlight reaching the forest floor due to the canopy above, having large leaves allows these plants to efficiently absorb the available light energy.
Why is the rainforest floor so dark?
The forest floor is dark because the trees are dense and tall above so they can collect as much sun light as possible. This means that only 2% of sun light reaches the forest floor.
Why is there very little light on the forest floor?
The dense canopy of trees in a forest blocks much of the sunlight from reaching the forest floor. As a result, only a small amount of light filters through the leaves and branches, creating a shaded environment on the forest floor. This lack of light contributes to the unique plant and animal communities that are adapted to low-light conditions in the understory of a forest.
How is the forest floor different from the canopy?
The difference between a canopy and rainforest floor would be a canopy covers over the rest of the forest which allows a little bit of sun light like the rain forest floor because it only gets 2 percent of the sun's light umm... what else oh yeah!! trees are covered with small plants and appear to be tied togther with hundreds of vines and also rain forest floor has very little plant life and the area is covered with fallen leaves, seeds, dead flowers, and fruits and branches that decompose really quickly.

Do capybaras eat coca leaves?
yes, they will eat them from the forest floor
How are leaves cleaned up on the forest floor?
They decompose and turn into soil
Why does the development of leaves cause changes on the forest floor?
The reduction of sunlight.
What level of the rain forest does the okapi live?
Dur! Forest Floor
Which is an adaptation of a plant that grows on the forest floor?
Low-light tolerance is a common adaptation of plants that grow on the forest floor. This allows them to thrive in the shaded understory where sunlight is limited. Other adaptations include shallow root systems to efficiently absorb nutrients from the thin layer of soil and large leaves to capture as much light as possible.
Is the forest floor and the understory the same thing?
no the understory is one level above the floor
What is the general term for orgainsms that live in soil and fallen leaves on the forest floor?
Microorganisms are found in soil and leaves.
