What is the undergrowth?

is the part of the forest near the ground, unlike the canopy, the highlight of the forest. In the rainforests in tropical and mild areas of the world, this part is a completely different environment that supports unique plants and animals. This area of ​​the forest is also very interesting for people, because people have to walk if they want to move in the forest. All of them are able to tolerate low light conditions because most of the light is filtered by a high forest canopy above. These plants also like wet, humid environments and tend to grow to the ground. The seedlings of the canopy trees begin in the undergrowth, paired by shrubs, plants and herbs. Seedlings are often suppressed until the tree of the canopy disappears, so the seedlings are formed into a forest canopy.

Earth in the undergrowth is usually inserted, carpets with a rich layer of leaves, flowers, animal droppings and decaying organic material. Many mushrooms create their homes and leaf litter also hides insects, grubs and many other small creatures. AnimalsAnd they like to nest in undergrowth, use dense plants for protection and camouflage, and numerous plants provide food sources in the form of clear, attractive fruit, tender leaves and habitat for food animals.

Unlike the canopy, which can be quite noisy, the undergrowth is very quiet and calm. Especially in the heat of the day, it may feel almost oppression, with almost breeze, to mix the plants and without animals in motion. Occasionally, calls from animals can be heard high in the canopy, along with small noise of land animals. This part is also moist, due to all captured moisture in leaf litter and plants.

Plants

undergrowth tend to grow very quickly because they are designed to use their conditions. If fire swept in this area, new plants germinate in a few days and some species are actually designed to colon after fires. Plants alsoThey use temporary clearings created by dead trees, with a dead tree trunk to add to the rich layers of soil and organic material on the forest floor, while undergrowth plants echoed rapidly throughout the area and often smashed the trunk along the way.
