Emergent- widely spaced trees with small pointed leaves that are 100 to 240 feet tall
Upper Canopy- home to most of the rainforest's animals. Some animals never go down to the forest floor because of the amount of food at this level.
Understory- consists of 60 foot trees and has little air movement. Humidity is high and shade is constant.
Forest Floor- completely shaded except where a canopy tree has fallen and created an opening. The top soil is very thin and has poor quality. Most areas of the forest floor receive so little light that few bushes or herbs can grow there
