Life in a Redwood Forest
Lately, I've found myself enamored by the floors of various forest types. It strikes me that the floor of a forest is the ecosystem that makes the entire organism possible. Decaying tree trunks serve as nursemaids to new generations of trees and ferns. They help keep the soil rich and fertile.
Here, the understory of a redwood forest is teeming with rich and vibrant life. A perfect world held in balance by the subtle contributions from all members of the plant community. And that my friends, is the secret to life for all species at all levels of the food chain--coexist.
