What does the undergrowth of an oak hickory Forest look like? People can plant the trees, but how do you get the undergrowth?

I have 20 or so acres of woods behind me. Oak, 2 types of hickory, American beech, and black cherry.

It’s just dirt. These trees have thick ass canopies

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.
