• Amazon rainforestBroader topic: The rainforest’s canopy contains much of its arboreal life and productivity.

• Old-growth forestRelated: Multiple canopy layers often develop as trees grow, die, and regenerate at different times.

• Forest regenerationRelated: Canopy cover controls light and microclimate for emerging seedlings.

• EvergreenRelated: Evergreen crowns maintain cover when deciduous canopies are bare.

• MicroclimateBroader topic: Its sheltered air can differ from the air above rooftops or tree crowns.

• Temperate rainforestBroader topic: Its dense, layered crowns create shaded, humid conditions below.

• DeciduousnessNarrower topic: Seasonal leaf loss opens deciduous canopies and changes conditions below them.

• BrachiationRelated: Overhead branches create the connected supports brachiators use to cross forests.

• Tropical forestBroader topic: Canopy height and layering help define tropical forest structure.

• Tropical dry forestRelated: Seasonal leaf loss changes canopy cover and the light reaching the forest floor.

• EpiphyteRelated: Tree canopies provide the elevated surfaces and microhabitats where many epiphytes grow.

• TreeRelated: Overlapping crowns create a habitat and microclimate above the forest floor.

• ForestBroader topic: Its density controls light, temperature, and rainfall reaching lower forest layers.

• Temperate deciduous forestBroader topic: Its seasonal opening and closure regulate light reaching the forest floor.

• ClearcuttingBroader topic: Removing nearly all trees eliminates the canopy across the harvested area.

• UnderstoryNarrower topic: It forms the understory’s ceiling and controls much of the light reaching it.

• Bornean orangutanRelated: Bornean orangutans spend much of their lives moving through this forest layer.

• GibbonRelated: The canopy is the principal habitat and travel route for gibbons.

• HylobatidaeRelated: It is the principal habitat through which gibbons travel and forage.

• Oak–hickory forestRelated: Oak and hickory crowns form the community’s dominant upper layer.

• Deciduous forestNarrower topic: The forest canopy is the habitat’s defining upper vegetation layer.

• KinkajouNarrower topic: This is the kinkajou's principal habitat and the route connecting its feeding sites.

• RainforestBroader topic: Its dense, vertically layered structure creates distinct rainforest habitats.

• Shade toleranceNarrower topic: A canopy filters and blocks light, creating the shaded conditions plants must tolerate.

• BinturongRelated: The binturong climbs and forages among the branches that make up this forest layer.

• Temperate broadleaf and mixed forestsBroader topic: Canopy density shapes light, temperature, and moisture below the trees.

• ToucanRelated: Toucans forage and move among branches in tropical forest canopies.

• ColugoNarrower topic: Colugos live and travel chiefly within this elevated forest layer.

• Howler monkeyRelated: Howlers spend much of their lives in the forest canopy.

• RamphastidaeRelated: Many members of the family forage and travel in forest canopies.

• Temperate forestRelated: Canopy structure controls light, rainfall interception, and habitat across forest layers.

• Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forestsRelated: Its layered canopy shapes light, habitat, and competition in these forests.

• LianaBroader topic: Lianas use trees to reach and spread through this high-light layer.

• Spider monkeyRelated: The canopy is the principal habitat and travel route for spider monkeys.

• Sun bearRelated: Sun bears climb trees and forage among branches as well as on the ground.

• Virgin Komi ForestsBroader topic: Canopy gaps and layered cover create habitats across old-growth stands.

• Borneo lowland rain forestsBroader topic: Its layered crowns create habitat and regulate light below.

• Fagus sylvaticaNarrower topic: A mature beech’s dense crown helps determine the light available to plants below.

• Harpy eagleRelated: The eagle hunts and nests in the forest canopy.

• Lar gibbonRelated: The lar gibbon spends much of its life moving and feeding among these branches.
