|
the herb layer |
 Plants like nettles and
ground-ivy form a herb layer and are food for insects, caterpillars and
butterflies. Butterflies also roost in nettles at night. |
|
the ground layer |
 The woodland floor will
support another range of plants, including mosses, lichens, ferns and
fungi. These plants will be growing in the shade and damp and are the
ground layer of life in the woodland. |
