To learn more about this topic, start your googling with these keywords:
- Canopy: The uppermost layer of a forest, formed by the crowns and foliage of the tallest trees.
- Detritus: Dead and decaying organic matter, such as fallen leaves, twigs, bark, and animal remains, that accumulates on the forest floor.
- Nutrient Cycling: The continuous movement of nutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon) through a forest ecosystem, from soil to plants, through animals and decomposers, and back to the soil again.
- Topsoil: The uppermost layer of soil, typically rich in organic matter, nutrients, and microbial life. Topsoil is where most root growth, seed germination, and biological activity occur, making it essential to forest health and productivity.
