The emergent layer include trees which are some 100 to 250 ft . tall and possess umbrella-shaped canopies which expands beyond the woodland. This layer includes trees that contain small, directed leaves. Some of the '''[http://www.cuipo.org/Discover/TheRainforest/Biodiversity tropical rainforest trees]''' found in this layer are Balizia elegans, Hieronyma alchormeoides and Dipteryx panamensis among others. These trees have shallow root system and buttress to assist their enormous sizing. <br /> <br /> Next in the tropical rainforest layers would be the the canopy layer which include trees that are 60 to 130 feet tall with leaves which are tall and wide shaped. It is this layer that houses the largest quantity of rainforest animals due to the high availability of food for them. Great number of tropical rainforest trees like epiphytes including bromeliads, orchids, lichens and mosses are located in the canopy layer of tropical rainforest. <br /> <br /> The understory comes after the upper canopy and comprises of trees which are 60 feet in height and this level of any tropical rainforest often stays within the shade. Plants, shrubs, canopy trees and also small trees can be found in this level and it allows minimal motion of air. <br /> <br /> The last one of several tropical rainforest layers will be the forest floor which usually continues to be in complete shade. This scantily lit level of the tropical rainforest have a small number of growth of tropical rainforest trees like herbs and shrubbery. This level of the forest includes a quite thin layer of decaying organic matter that is very quickly broken down by worms, mites and fungus. It is because of the very low transmission of sunlight that the forest floor consists of less vegetation.</div>
