The Layers of a Rainforest

By Jason

Okay, I am at the Forest Floor and it’s a long way to sunlight.I can see a few plants trying to grow without sunlight. Up I go to the Understory Layer... Aah,now I can see better, I feel leaves flinging into my face as I go up the tall trees. I continue climbing and reach the Canopy Layer. It’s hot,humid and sticky up here and plants that require lots of sun go up to the Canopy Layer.

NOW,I am FINALLY where I want to be; The Emergent Layer. Most of the plants that reach there are ‘air plants’ that grow on the trunk. That’s the trunk there.
