  In a dense forest, there is typically little or no grass due to a lack of sunlight reaching the forest floor. The dense canopy of trees blocks most of the sunlight, which is essential for grass growth. Additionally, the thick layer of decaying leaves and branches can hinder grass growth by limiting access to water and nutrients.
