=== Forest floor ===

The [[forest floor]], the bottom-most layer, receives only 2% of the sunlight. Only plants [[Adaptation|adapted]] to low light can grow in this region. Away from riverbanks, swamps and clearings, where dense undergrowth is found, the forest floor is relatively clear of vegetation because of the low sunlight penetration. This more open quality permits the easy movement of larger animals such as: ungulates like the [[okapi]] (''Okapia johnstoni''), [[tapir]] (''Tapirus'' sp.), [[Sumatran rhinoceros]] (''Dicerorhinus sumatrensis''), and apes like the [[western lowland gorilla]] (''Gorilla gorilla''), as well as many species of reptiles, amphibians, and insects. The forest floor also contains [[decomposition|decaying]] plant and animal matter, which disappears quickly, because the warm, humid conditions promote rapid decay. Many forms of [[Fungus|fungi]] growing here help decay the animal and plant waste.
