- Authors
Richards, Kristine
- Abstract
The article focuses on the experiments conducted by students regarding the leaf litter they found in their school yards in the U.S. It states that leaf litter is known as a poor man's rainforest because of the large diversity of organisms present such as plants, fungi and lichen. During the experiment, students were asked to note the different organisms and objects they found around the yard. Based on the objects gathered, students were able to identify the different types of objects found during the different seasons of the year. They concluded how seasons may affect which organisms present in the environment.
