Trees were no longer trees; trees were toothpicks, a result of thousands upon thousands of shells which had reduced the forest to splinters.
Here "the near one hundred feet tall dark pine trees and dense tree-tops gave the place, even in daytime, a somber appearance which was apt to cast gloom upon sensitive people." It was like a green cave, always dripping water, the firs interlocked their lower limbs so that everyone had to stoop, all the time.
In this dense and somber forest of pine, men battled snow and mud and frigid weather as well as an entrenched and fiercely resolute enemy, were prevented from maneuvering or deploying by the trees, the mud, the ravines and the extensive mine fields.

The next morning all the creeks were about 6-10 times their original size because within about twenty hours on June 12 over 6 inches of rain had fallen and previous to that it had rained steadily for a month which saturated the soil in the mountains and valleys.
Another major factor in the occurence of mud slides is the build-up of soil in the creek beds.
The reason for this is that the actual mud didn't come from the creeks, it came from the surrounding hillside and it all accumulated in the creek ravine.

 The Art of Building
Unless you're running a post-apocalyptic MUD, where the world is a barren wasteland, or an alien world MUD, where the creatures living there may not need oxygen to survive, you're going to have forests.
Tropical rainforest-type trees take a very long time to grow, as well, and if they get deforested, they won't be able to support much later on.
Besides trees, there are very defined layers of plant life that are in every forest of the world - ground-level vegetation (bushes, shrubs, grasses, and flowers), the trees themselves, and canopy-level vegetation (mostly parasitic plants like mistletoe, vines and certain mosses).

On first examination mangrove forests appear to be uninviting, characterised by sticky mud, biting insects and thickets of trees with dense sometimes impenetrable aerial roots.
Molluscs are common; oysters attach onto the aerial roots of the trees edging the creeks (sometimes: rare in our area) and channels, while gastropods of many species are found on the mud and in the trees.
Polychaete worms are also found in tubes in the mud, but they are not as abundant or diverse as in the muddy sediments at the mouth of the rivers like the Kampaun.
