Lets Review

Emergent

• The Emergent Layer has trees that break through
  the Rain Forest canopy.  This area is full of
  birds and gets  more sun.  You can see the mist
  and clouds below the treetops.

Canopy

• This photo shows the top of the canopy layer.
  The dense trees form an "umbrella" over the
  forest below.

5
Understory

• The Understory is dense with plants and animal
  life.  You can see that it is much darker in this
  lower part of the rain forest layers.

6
Rainforest Floor

• The Forest Floor is dark and damp, and many
  insects and animals live here. Scientists have
  discovered that the richness of the rain forest
  lies in the plant matter, not in the soil
  itself.
