Seasonal Landscapes: The Forest Floor

Something special happens in the forest when spring arrives. As the sunlight increases, the forest floor goes through rapid transformations to take advantage of the increased energy and resources before the trees leaf out. Explore the seasonal dynamics of newly bloomed early spring wildflowers, the ecological partnerships they form, and the phenology that ties them all together.
