Foresters commonly separate forest floor or down woody materials (DWM) into
three successive layers: (1) branches and logs (fine and coarse woody material), (2) litter, and (3) duff. Additionally, live and dead understory shrubs and herbs are included with forest floor measurements. Duff includes the dark, partly decomposed organic material (where ...
