Rainforests, Forest Floor
Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute
At ground level, the rainforest is very dark. No more than a fiftieth of light from above penetrates this far down. The humid air is almost completely still.
Most of the vegetation down here consists of fungi and other plants that live off the thin layer of decaying leaves and other matter that has fallen from the trees onto the ground.
