Canopy

The canopy of a tree is the uppermost layer of branches and leaves that covers the ground below. The canopy provides shade, shelter, and habitat for many animals and plants. The canopy also plays an important role in the exchange of gases, water, and energy between the tree and the atmosphere. The canopy can vary in height, density, and structure depending on the type of tree and the environmental conditions.
