Sunlight reaches the forest floor primarily through gaps in the canopy created by tree branches and leaves. The canopy, made up of the uppermost branches and leaves of trees, filters sunlight, allowing only a fraction to penetrate. This filtered light supports the growth of shade-tolerant plants and seedlings on the forest floor, which have adapted to thrive in lower light conditions. Additionally, seasonal changes and the movement of the sun can alter the amount of light that reaches different areas of the forest floor throughout the year.
