Forest Floor Dynamics

Forest Floor Dynamics is a theoretical construct in understory ecology that characterizes the spatiotemporal processes governing the flux and transformation of organic matter, nutrients, and energy within the forest floor layer, distinguishing it from broader ecosystem dynamics by its exclusive focus on below-canopy biotic and abiotic interactions.
