Limitationstropical rainforest
1. Year-round high energy (light) input2. Year-round large amounts of rain3. Mineral nutrient-depleted soils4. Minerals (phosphate, trace
elements) locked up in the living organisms

Emergent Layer = crowns of isolated trees
a. Tallest trees (40-80 m)b. No competition for lightc. Air is drierd. More winde. Straight trunks; branches
highf. Trunk thin and smoothg. Shallow, wide roots with
buttresses and prop rootsh. Animals visible to raptors;
must jump from tree to tree.

The canopyCanopies of trees of up to 40 m forms a dense, continuous layer
a. Upper layer receives a lot of light; lower layers much less light
b. Leaves are larger with drip spouts to keep them free of standing water in the high humid atmosphere. Molds!
c. Branches covered by epiphytes and vinesd. Large food supply (leaves, buds, flowers, fruits):
large amounts of animals that rarely, if ever, descend to the forest floor.
e. Animals do not have to jump from tree-to-tree
