What is a forest canopy?
Forest canopy is the highest layer of forest, characterized by trees and a handful of urgent specimens with heights that shoot above the canopy. The canopy is decisive for the welfare of the forest and provides the habitat of a wide range of plants and animals. In fact, the canopy is so unique that some organisms spend their lives there, never go down to the ground.
If you ever went into the forest and looked at the area where the trees were met, you looked at the forest canopy. The branches and leaves in the canopy can capture up to 95% of the available light, so the undergrowth of the forest deeply overshadowed. You can also hear a canopy known as topstory and refers to the fact that it contains the very top of the forest.
Only some trees reach the height of the canopy. These trees often suppressed growth as seedlings while waiting in undergrowth. When the Falls canopy tree, the seedlings shoots to take place, grew rapidly to reach light. Once the tree reaches the height of the canopy, the VRChol and adds a circuit, but not much height. Finally, he will die or will be damaged in the storm, falls to the ground and contributes to a thick layer of crumbling organic material on the forest, while other seedlings begin to its place.
epiphytic plants, lichens and ferns often live in a forest canopy, sometimes in the highest layers to take advantage of light and sufficient water supply and sometimes in lower areas. These plants combine with trees and create habitats for birds, insects and mammals large and small. In the tropics, creatures such as Big Cats can visit a canopy looking for food and canopy also host monkeys, snakes and many other animals.
The forest is a quite unique ecosystem, a number of microclimate in a mature and healthy forest. These microclimate keep some very diverse creatures in all shapes, colors and sizes, which makes the visit of any forest an interesting expedition, for those whoEarly have patience to wait and observe. Even in a very small area of the forest it is possible to calculate many organisms, from small mushrooms on the ground to towering canopy trees.
Some scientists work in a forest canopy and study this unique environment and animals called it home. Permanent research stations with tree houses, zip lines and other equipment can be installed, and it is also possible to explore the canopy simply climbing into it and provided it has equipment. Scientists are trying to be careful in the forest canopy because they do not want to disrupt the forest ecosystem breaking of branches, damage to plants or ghost animals.
