Forest floor

The lowest layer of the forest: dim, humid, still, where the slow business of decay happens. In a closed-canopy forest the floor receives as little as one to two percent of the light that struck the crown — living here means living on the forest's pocket change of light. On Pandora the dim floor also glows with bioluminescence, and it is where the hexapede browses and the viperwolf and thanator hunt.
