Without sunlight, plants can not survive.


How does a dense canopy of leaves help plants compete for resources?

A dense canopy of leaves allows plants to effectively capture sunlight by maximizing light interception, which is crucial for photosynthesis. This competitive advantage enables them to grow faster and outpace neighboring plants in accessing light. Additionally, a thick canopy can reduce light penetration to lower layers, limiting the growth of understory plants and reducing competition for water and nutrients. Overall, a dense canopy enhances a plant's ability to thrive in resource-limited environments.

Why are tropical rain forests so rich in biodiversity?

Climate: Tropical rainforests receive almost 12 hours of sunlight every day. This sunlight is converted to energy by plants through the process of photosynthesis. Since there is a lot of sunlight, there is a lot of energy locked up in the rainforest. This energy is stored in plants that are eaten by animals. Because there is a lot of food, there are many species of plants and animals. Canopy: The spreading structure of the rainforest canopy means there are more places for plants to grow and animals to live. The canopy offers many unique sources of food and shelter. For example, there are plants in the canopy called bromeliads that store water in their leaves. Frogs use these pockets of water like ponds for hunting and laying their eggs. Since all their needs are met in the canopy, some frog species spend all their lives there.

How do plants in the emergent and canopy layer compete for sunlight?

Plants in the emergent layer tend to have larger leaves and taller heights to capture sunlight before it reaches the canopy layer. Canopy plants, on the other hand, have adaptions like leaf size and shape to optimize light absorption as they are in the shade of other trees. This competition drives vertical stratification in the rainforest.


Why is it difficult for small ground plants to survive in Latin Americas tropical rain forests?

The Rainforest tops come together to for a dense canopy, or covering, that keeps the sun from reaching the forest floor. As a result not many small ground plants survive. References: My geography book.
