The life of the forest. Richness of undergrowth and understorey
The Polish forests, especially deciduous ones, are characterized by a multi-storey structure, which can usually be divided into four layers.
In the vertical structure of the forest, apart from the crown of trees, the lowest layer is also distinguished, i.e. forest duff and two intermediate layers: undergrowth and understorey. In coniferous forests, we can also distinguish the mossy layer.
In a complex forest ecosystem, where every organism - plant or animal is important and irreplaceable, the lower floors of the forest perform many important functions. Thanks to the dense root network, the undergrowth and understorey plants protect the soil against erosion and, by shading it, reduce the rate of water evaporation. In this way, they improve the water relations and climate inside the forest.
They also delight with the richness of life that is always blooming in them.

Your quality is as good as sir david Attenborough's documentaries.The attention to detail is commendable 😍😍😍
We bow from the waist in gratitude for such an assessment of our film work. ❤️
You're exceptionally humble...David sir is a legend...i feel if he watched your documentary he will be extremely proud.😍😍😍
😢
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life.
Thank you !
@@pessimist6366 no negativity, no sadness, no depression, just straight vibing happiness, i hope you this will have a wonderful day, life is so amazing if you let it be :D
May your thanks only lonly wishes become the wish of half of the world imagine If I would be a manner and here half of town would be against me, that would be a warm up, fire to have a Lot of people against me .. imagine the scale.... Totally unbalanced!
May half of town stay on my side or something on the way
Aameen!
As mentioned already I greatly appreciate the softer music so it doesn't over power everything-perfect background music. And thank you for not trying to make everything more sensational/intense....nature is amazing enough without the sensationalism usually found in documentaries these days. ...so an extra big thank you!
Also a big and extra thank you for watching and the feedback.
Yes this comment exactly. Such a beautiful film - very relaxing but always engaging and interesting. (And the narrator is perfect.) We don’t need artificial drama or hype
no music is better
My son is in the United States army and is a combat medic (68 whiskey). He deployed to Poland on 3-17-2024. Him and I have hacked in the Appalachian mountains all his life and are nature lovers. He is gonna love Poland from what I see. Good luck Toccoa. TOP OF THE ROCK! 3RD INFANTRY DIVISON.
Interesting story, thank you for sharing this information and for watching the video. We also encourage you to check out our other film productions. Greetings Toccoa and we are glad that you came to our country!
This means so much to me as a dad and a veteran with 4 tours of combat. Nature, my son, and my family helps me thru dark times. I was a combat radioman and my son seen what being in combat can do to someone yet he still volunteered. It says another about his commitment to his country and to me. I've seen several of yalls documentaries and love them, keep them coming. Do yall have any on aquatic life,(i.e ) fish, mammals,birds?
Veterans of all conflicts and military missions must have a lot of strength and support from their loved ones to cope with these difficult experiences and move on with their lives. It's good that you managed to do it. And it's great that your difficult experiences and your dark times have empowered your son. You are definitely a role model for him. And this, in turn, now gives you strength and does not allow you to give up in difficult moments. We are very glad that nature also helped you and that you appreciate our films. A film about amphibians will appear here soon. In the meantime, we recommend Forest Rivers to you if you haven't seen it yet kzhead.info/sun/nJmahreMoH97f58/bejne.html
The low volume background music is very much appreciated while enjoying the video, thank you!
We'll keep that in mind for future videos.
If you're reading this, I hope that day comes real soon where your wildest dreams come true. Where you finally feel that you are at peace with yourself and your surroundings. May your life be full of joy, strength, light, and ease. May you lead a life full of positivity and greatness. You got this.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this!!! Beautiful, relaxing and a welcome relief from the madness going on in the world. Thank God for nature.
Couldn't agree more.
Thank you for such positive comment. :-)

What a hidden gem of a channel!
Thank you!
@@forestfilmstudio thank YOU for providing us with quality, relaxing nature content! the literal only thing I don’t love is that the animal sounds are a bit loud and jarring sometimes and startle me when I’m cozied up listening to your soothing voice and relaxing music.
This music is the perfect background for my meditation practice. It helps me find inner peace.
Oh How I Love to be in midst of forest,to watch everything from trees,plants,insects,flowers,birds and rivers while being bathed by the sunlight.I also love to hear the sound of it.that would be a wonderful moment,it will fascinate me endlessly.a perfect place to worship and praise the God Almighty who created all these things.
Thank you for watching!
I like so much trees, Forest, green color …… it’s definitely my essence 💚 thanks for this sumptuous video
Thank you and watch other our films also. :-)
Me as well 😊
I have learned several facts. School students can learn so many life long lessons from this video. We humans can follow nature for true health and happiness. Asante 🌅 🌎 🌙
Thank you for positive feedback!
I have just found your channel. The quality of your filming is fantastic. Keep it up.
You motivate us to act, thank you!
Peace, love and prosperity to all who read this. We are all One with the Universe.
Coming back to these vides feels like I’m coming home whenever I revisit. I was studying ecology and conservation for my degree but sadly wasn’t doing very well mentally at the beginning of this year so thought it would be best to leave those studies to make sure I was mentally well before I went back into education. I will be beginning once again in September to continue this passion of mine. Thank you for these videos, they are what get me through and solidify why I pursued this path. 🌲🌳
Appreciate nature, live close to it, because it gives strength. We keep our fingers crossed for you, your path and return to studies. Thank you for watching our films and greetings from Poland!
The photography is elegant and exquisitely detailed. Plummy voice and good music all balanced and harmonious.💐
Thank you for such a positive feedback.
@@forestfilmstudio It is very deserved.
So similar to the Pacific Northwest America - So many common species.

Thanks for the beautiful video City when I was born is surrounded by the five mountains,each one has some specific flora My father knew some safe pats and was taking me to collect some leafs berries….. I still can smell the forest……
Beautiful words! Thank you for watching and greetings from Poland!
I enjoyed this video tremendously. The relationship of all species in the forest are all vital in creating a n ecosystem that makes life of all living things in the forest thrive. Thanks a million!
Greetings from all our film crew!
this is one of the things about forest that most people have no idea. thus the thinking that cutting down old growth forest is fine as long as they plant new saplings? it completely changes the undergrowth changing the whole forest.
Wow Lovely Flowers ^^ Like it My friend, thank you for good sharing
Природа вокруг нас такая красивая!. Спасибо за познавательное видео. Успехов в творчестве и всего самого хорошего.
absolutely kino! marvelous!
Thank you so much for the feedback!
The best video 💚
Thank you so much!
It's something you don't really have the opportunity to see in everyday life, admirable images so well filmed of the vegetation and the life of the living things in this wonderful forest.
Very positive opinion. Greetings from Polish forests. :-)
"Another large group of forest insects are arachnids"... I love your work and devotion, I truly do, and to be honest, I don't know how this was unnoticed :)
We really like your comment, thank you!
A beautiful film no doubt, you have picked up a rare subject and a rather unknown area, because Poland is hadly choosen ,however it was a subject rich on it's descriptiveness ,the narrator spoke with great knowing authority, I enjoyed it enormously. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for watching!
Trees rocks ants and Water 😊are my true love....next to my guitar and my 🐈 cat.
A wonderful Film with introducing so many species, and a marvellously good english speaker with a pretty voice narrating. Thanks for that highly informative Film. Kath. Zwing
Kath, thank you for watching and your feedback. It's very important and motivating for us.

Beautiful! It reminds me of where I grew up in Poland, in holiday time we spent time in the forest, my absolute favourite place- the trees, foxgloves and the mushroom are unforgettable.
Blooming foxgloves in a forest are amazing! Greetings from central Poland, near Łódź. :-)

Just a note: *Sweet woodruff* is toxic to mice and rats but has never been shown to be toxic to humans. In fact, it's been used as a flavoring for many different drinks and candies for centuries.
Due to the coumarin content, it must be used in moderation. Larger doses may cause headache and nausea.
Beautiful! I recognize so many of the plants and animals. I grew up in The Netherlands and moved to Sweden over a year ago, there's a lot of similarities.
Greetings from Poland!

There should be a central European movement to expand our forests. With modern agricultural technology such as GMO, we could reduce the area needed to grow crops, so the forests can return.
Beautiful! Thank you.
We are glad that you watch our videos and that you like them.
Best nature series on UTube. Thanks!
Extremely nice opinion, thank you!

What a beautiful and meditative study in forest life. Many of the plants shown also occur in the US where I live. The flower colors may be different, but I still recognize them. Thank you.
