Answer:
Dead leaves from the tree will decay more quickly in the soil of a tropical rain forest.
The forest floor is the darkest of all rain forest layers, making it extremely difficult for plants to grow. Leaves that fall to the forest floor decay quickly.
Decomposers, such as termites, slugs, scorpions, worms, and fungi, thrive on the forest floor. Organic matter falls from trees and plants, and these organisms break down the decaying material into nutrients. The shallow roots of rain forest trees absorb these nutrients, and dozens of predators consume the decomposers.
