In biology, the canopy is the
aboveground portion of a plant
community or crop, formed by the
collection of individual plant crowns.In
forest ecology, canopy also refers to
the upper layer or habitat zone, formed
by mature tree crowns and including
other biological organisms
(epiphytes,lianas, arboreal animals, etc.)
Sometimes the term canopy is used to
refer to the extent of the outer layer of
leaves of an individual tree or group of
trees. Shade trees normally have a
dense canopy that blocks light from
lower growing plants.The top layer of a
plant or wooded ecosystem
consisting of overlapping leaves and
branches of trees, shrubs, or
both.Canopy is a habitat for many kind
of animals. All species of the plants and
animals are evolve to adapt with the
environment.Canopy is important to
the soil and its component.
