Theemergent layeris the very top layer of the rainforest. This layer consists of the enormous trees and plants that live in rainforests that extend above all other plants in the area. They extend up and reach the direct sunlight. Their mushroom shaped tops block almost all sunlight from filte...
Other plants have adapted by rooting themselves in the soil of the forest floor and growing up the trees until they reach the canopy layer. Still other plants, such as epiphytes (附生植物), have adapted by growing directly on the trees'trunks and branches in the canopy and understory layers...
Estimating aboveground biomass of broadleaved woody plants in the understory of Florida Key pine forests. Forest Ecology and Management 203: 319–329.Sah, J P, Ross, M S, Koptur, S and Snyder, J R. 2004 . Estimating aboveground biomass of broadleaved woody plants in the understory of ...
Coniferous trees are the most common plants in the subarctic taiga biome, but rare flowers, berries and sedges inhabit the evergreen canopy protecting the forest understory. What Is the Taiga Biome? The taiga biome, commonly called the boreal forest, covers the expanse of land between the arcti...
Other plants called lianas have adapted by rooting themselves in the soil of the forest floor and growing up the trees until they reach the canopy layer. Still other plants, such as epiphytes, have adapted by growing directly on the trees' trunks and branches in the canopy and understory ...
We studied the effects of hand weeding of second-year plants of the biennial garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) on first-year plants (seedlings) and native ground layer vegetation. Garlic mustard is a Eurasian species that has invaded deciduous forest ground layers in eastern North America. ...

The angiosperms and their ancestors played a very small role until they diversified during the Cretaceous. They started out as small, damp-loving organisms in the understory, and have been diversifying ever since the mid[verification needed]-Cretaceous, to become the dominant member of non-boreal ...
Understory Layer Plants in the understory receive very little sunlight. Many understory plants are epiphytes or "air plants," drawing their nutrients from the humid air around them and what nutrients might be found in litter and debris caught in the bark and branches of the tree. Epiphytes inc...
