A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Forreal. Packed dirt later looks like... "Dirt." Then heavily compactes leaves and sticks. Then leaves. But it's mostly leaves all the way down. Nothing like trodding atop centuries of pressed organic leaves.
A forest floor shouldn't be heavily compacted, that would also lead to the leaves breaking down instead of just laying there.
