In biology, the canopy is the aboveground portion of a plant cropping or crop, formed by the collection of individual plant crowns. In forest ecology, canopy refers to the upper layer or habitat zone, formed by mature tree crowns and including other biological organisms (epiphytes, lianas, arboreal animals, etc.).

Stratification (vegetation) The vertical stratification of a community is determined largely by the life forms of plants their size , branching and leaves which is influenced by the vertical gradient of light.
A canopy or forest canopy is part of a tree, forest, group of trees, or group of other tall plants. It is where the leaves spread out like a roof or umbrella. The canopy is where the most sunlight touches the plants, so it is where the most energy enters living things.
Canopy Biology. Monkeys swing through for a bite to eat, ants cross from tree to tree on liana highways, and climate variables shape cycles of flowering, fruiting and photosynthesis: there is a lot going on in the forest canopy.
Definition. For much of the early development of canopy biology, the nature and limits of forest canopies have been poorly defined. In a functional sense, the forest canopy includes all aboveground plant structures and the interstitial spaces between them, which collectively form the interface between the soil and the atmosphere.
