The emergent layer include trees that are some 100 to 250 feet tall and have umbrella-shaped canopies which grows up beyond the forest. This layer consists of trees that contain small, pointed leaves. A few of the '''[http://www.cuipo.org/Discover/TheRainforest/Biodiversity tropical rainforest trees]''' present in this layer are Balizia elegans, Hieronyma alchormeoides and Dipteryx panamensis and others. These trees have shallow root system and buttress to assist their large sizing. <br /> <br /> Next in the tropical rainforest layers is the the canopy layer that features trees which are 60 to 130 feet in height with foliage which are tall and broad shaped. It is primarily the layer that houses the largest number of rainforest animals due to the high availability of food for them. Large numbers of tropical rainforest trees like epiphytes like bromeliads, orchids, lichens and mosses is found in the canopy layer of tropical rainforest. <br /> <br /> The understory comes after the upper canopy and comprises of trees that are 60 ft . tall and this level of the tropical rainforest always remains within the shade. Plants, shrubs, canopy trees in addition to small trees are located in this layer and it allows very little movement of air flow. <br /> <br /> The last one of the tropical rainforest layers will be the forest floor which usually stays in full shade. This scantily lit level of tropical rainforest have few growth of tropical rainforest trees like herbs and shrubbery. This level of the woodland includes a pretty narrow covering of rotting organic matter which can be quickly broken down by worms, termites and fungi. It is because of the very low penetration of the sun's rays that the forest floor consists of less plant life.</div> Fri, 29 Jun 2012 09:08:20 GMT LindiPayton800 https://pm.haifa.ac.il/index.php?title=Talk:LindiPayton800
