Canopy can be defined as the upper layer of a tree, formed by the mature tree crowns. We often think of shade trees when using the term canopy, and sometimes canopy trees and shade trees can be used interchangeably. Basically, the canopy of the tree is made up of dense foliage and branches of large trees that block sunlight from reaching the ground and adjacent, lower growing plants below. Canopy trees are not solely limited to rainforests. They can be found in many regions of the world. In addition to providing shade, canopy trees protect the area below from strong, drying winds and heavy rainfall. Due to the large amount of sunlight available to these trees, they are able to photosynthesize both rapidly and efficiently, producing more leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds, which helps support local wildlife. Canopy trees also help regulate climate and play an important role in the health of our environment.

What is the under canopy?
The under canopy refers to the layer of vegetation found beneath the main canopy of a forest. It consists of smaller trees, shrubs, and plants that receive less sunlight due to the shading created by the taller trees above. The under canopy plays a crucial role in providing habitat for various species and maintaining biodiversity within the forest ecosystem.
What are emergent trees?
Emergent trees are the very tallest trees in the rainforest. They are the ones "emerging" from the canopy, and can be as tall as 60 metres or more, towering over the canopy of the rainforest. Mostly birds and insects live there.
