Why do few plants grow on the forest floor?
very little sunlight makes it to the rainforest floor
How does the under canopy layer adapt in the rain forest?
For the few plants that exist in the rainforest, they have to spread out and have big, broad leaves to capture the small amount of sunlight that actually reaches the forest floor. In general, there aren't many plants that grow on the forest floor of the tropical rainforest because of the lack on sunlight and due to the fact that most trees and other vegetation grow tall creating a thick canopy. The only time plants and small vegetation might grow on the forest floor is when a taller tree falls down creating a hole in the forest canopy. Sunlight is then able to reach the forest floor and some plants can establish themselves and start growing.
What are the two layers that plants make up in a tropical forest?
all but if you mean just plant and not trees then only the forest floor
Why are forest floor plants so small?
Forest floor plants are generally small due to several factors, including limited sunlight penetration, nutrient availability, and competition for resources. The dense canopy of trees above blocks much of the sunlight, creating a shaded environment where only shade-tolerant species thrive. Additionally, the forest floor often has lower nutrient levels compared to other areas, which can restrict growth. As a result, these plants have adapted to grow close to the ground, maximizing their chances of survival in a challenging ecosystem.
Why does bracket fungi grow on trees?
Well, to understand that, first you have to understand the forest floor. In this case I'm referring to a rainforest. The forest floor only gets 2% sunlight out of all that good stuff up top, so naturally only certain plants can grow here. The plants usually only grow around river banks and swampy areas. Because of this, there is a lot of plant (and animal) decay. So this is where your fungus comes in. It actually helps to decay the plants and animals, and it also helps to clean them up, by "eating" them. Hope this helps!
Why are there more plants species in the tropical forest than in the temperate forest?

Why does only 20 percent of rainwater reach the the forest floor?
This is because the there are so many trees that it doesn't reach the forest floor.
What cell grow only in plants?
Cells grow cell wall and plastids only in plants.
What proportion of sun light reaches the forest floor?
70% of all plants and animal species are found in the rainforest, which is why it's vital we protect the jungles. A vast majority of the plants are also thought to contain supplements that can cure a lot of diseases, including cancer.
What is the vegetation in a highland climate?
forest grow , higher up are meadows with small trees and shrubs, and above the timberline, where it is too cold for trees to grow, are only scatterd tundra plants.
