Go check out the pictures on this thread on Dendroboard and go through every page. Pay close attention to the jungle floor and you'll see why leaf litter is important. You'll also notice running water going through their environment.

I always reference this thread to other people when I can remember. When I was first starting out I learned a lot from these pictures.
