The Native Bush

HYPOTHESISWe predict that if we take away the forest

floor layer that the effect would be, that the

worms will have nowhere to live and birds

would have nothing to eat.

We also predict that if we take away the

forest floor the insect would not be able to

produce the food for the forest floor.

Also, the new shrubs can’t make brand new

trees. Also, if we remove the forest floor

there would be less soil for the trees to grow.

The soil has the water and all the nutrients

to help the trees grow.

On the forest floor you can see worms,wetas,ants kiwis and other birds.

Where would the insects live if we removed the forest floor?

The insects would die from exposer from wind, sun and dust.

What would the birds eat if we removed the forest floor?

Berries ,corn, rice and other fruit.
