Herb Layer
|
| The herb layer is made up of ferns, grasses, wild flowers, and other soft-stemmed plants. Like the shrub layer, what is in the herb layer depends on the openness of the canopy and understory . The more open the canopy, the thicker and richer the herb layer. It includes small animals, insects, mice, snakes, turtles, and ground nesting birds. |
