Tree Crown and Canopy

The crown of a plant

refers to the total of an
individual plant's
aboveground parts,
including stems, leaves,
and reproductive
structures. The crown of
a woody
plant (tree, shrub, liana)
is the branches, leaves,
and reproductive
structures extending from
the trunk or main stems.
A plant community canopy consists of
one or more plant crowns growing in a
given area.
Shapes of crowns are highly variable. The major types
for trees are the excurrent branching habit resulting in
conoid shapes and decurrent (deliquescent)
branching habit, resulting in round shapes.
Crowns are also characterized by their width, depth,
surface area, volume, and density. Measurements of
crowns are important in quantifying and qualifying plant
health, growth stage, and efficiency.
Major functions of the crown include light energy
assimilation, carbon dioxide absorption and
release of oxygen via photosynthesis, energy
release by respiration, and movement of water to
the atmosphere by transpiration. These functions
are performed by the leaves.
