Why is the forest floor so hot and humid?

The forest floor is often hot and humid due to the dense canopy above, which traps heat and moisture. The leaf litter and organic matter on the ground decompose, releasing heat and contributing to humidity. Additionally, limited airflow in densely vegetated areas prevents the dissipation of heat, further increasing the temperature and humidity levels. This combination creates a warm, moist microclimate that supports diverse plant and animal life.
