The world above the forest floor can be observed by all of US. Rarely, however, do we take the time to notice
the teeming life and bustling activity that occurs beneath the ground we walk on. Of all soil-dwelling creatures,
the most abundant are mites and springtails, insect-like creatures that literally eat their way through caverns of
subterranean vegetation. The tiny, eight-legged mites lay their eggs on plant matter, which their larvae eat and
convert into fresh soil. The bright-colored springtails are named for their ability to leap long distances during
their search for decomposed plant matter to eat. Both mites and springtails are prey to a host of soil-dwelling
predators. They thus anchor one end of the food chain that extends to higher forms of forest “lowlife”, such as
moles that feed on earthworms and shrews that eat beetles. Those mammals, in turn, dig tunnels that function as
underground byways for other subterranean species. Hibernating chipmunks, turtles, and salamanders sift and
mix the soil when they burrow to winter dens. Cottontails and gray foxes excavate shallow dens as sanctuary
from predators and harsh weather, while gray squirrels, hiding acorns for the lean season, further blend the
earth. From microbe to people, thousands of species work the land upon which all life depends.
