The emergent layer include trees that are some 100 to 250 feet tall and have umbrella-shaped canopies which grows up past the woodland. This layer includes trees that have small, sharpened leaves. A few of the '''[http://www.cuipo.org/Discover/TheRainforest/Biodiversity tropical rainforest trees]''' found in this level are Balizia elegans, Hieronyma alchormeoides and Dipteryx panamensis among others. These trees have shallow root system and buttress to aid their massive size. <br /> <br /> Next in the tropical rainforest layers is the the canopy layer including trees which are 60 to 130 ft . tall with foliage that are tall and broad shaped. It is primarily the layer that houses the biggest variety of rainforest animals as a result of high availability of food for them. Large numbers of tropical rainforest trees like epiphytes like bromeliads, orchids, lichens and mosses can be found in the canopy layer of tropical rainforest. <br /> <br /> The understory is a follower of the top canopy and consists of trees that are 60 ft . tall and this level of the tropical rainforest often stays within the shade. Plants, shrubs, canopy trees along with small trees are located in this level and it allows little or no movement of air flow. <br /> <br /> The last one of several tropical rainforest layers will be the forest floor which typically continues to be in total shade. This scantily lit level of tropical rainforest have a small number of growth of tropical rainforest trees like herbs and shrubbery. This level of the forest consists of a quite narrow layer of rotting organic matter which is very quickly converted by earthworms, mites and fungus. It's because of the very low transmission of the sun's rays that the forest floor consists of less plant life.</div>
