Upper Canopy 30-50 meters

N.Bradley Haringey EMA
Canopy
At the upper canopy level, the tops of trees
reach heights of 30 to 50 m (100 to 160 ft).
64
N.Bradley Haringey EMA
Emergents
Emergents may tower to 60 m (200 ft) this layer
is uneven, with breaks between treetops, allowing
sunlight to filter through to the middle layer.
65
N.Bradley Haringey EMA
The middle layer
This middle layer, the thickest layer of the
rainforest, includes another level of treetops,
lianas (woody vines), and epiphytes (plants that
survive on airborne nutrients). The middle layer
is so thick that little sunlight reaches the
forest floor only 1 per cent of the light above
the upper canopy gets through to the floor.
66
N.Bradley Haringey EMA
Forest floor
The lowest layer is also the thinnest, sparsely
populated with tiny seedlings and shoots. Each
layer of flora houses its own faunal communities
many animals live in ecological niches at one
layer and never venture beyond to other layers of
the forest.
