At SUGi the forests we build the forest floor is as (if not more) important then the canopy.
A healthy forest floor should be layered with leaf litter and organic matter, this is of utmost importance as it serves as the foundation and life-support system for the entire forest ecosystem. It provides habitat and shelter for a myriad of organisms, including decomposers, insects and small mammals.
The forest floor, together with the wood wide web, plays a crucial role in nutrient cycling, water filtration, erosion control, and fostering the resilience of the forest ecosystem. It is a dynamic and intricate ecosystem component that sustains the delicate balance of life in the forest, making it an invaluable and irreplaceable element of our natural world.
Its preservation is essential for maintaining the interconnectedness and vitality of forests worldwide.
