Jackfruit leaf litter in enclosed ecosystems provides several benefits. Similar to other leaf litters, it contributes to the natural environment by replicating the forest floor, creating a more authentic and enriching habitat. As jackfruit leaves decompose, they release organic matter and nutrients, enhancing the soil in the ecosystem.
The leaf litter serves as a substrate for microorganisms, fostering a healthy soil ecology within the enclosed environment. This microbial activity contributes to nutrient cycling and helps maintain a balanced ecosystem. Jackfruit leaf litter can provide hiding places and shelter for small invertebrates, encouraging natural behaviors among the inhabitants, and can add visual interest to the enclosed ecosystem, enhancing its overall aesthetic appeal.
