   Why is a forest canopy structure important?

   • Biodiversity: As a result of its influences, the forest canopy structure is necessary to maintain the biodiversity of a forest. Differing forest canopy structures of biomes increase the overall biodiversity of the earth. Figure 3: Biome vegetation structure.

   How does canopy structure affect site quality?

   • Ecology studies: Forest canopies are a reflection of available moisture and soil types, and differences in canopy structure can establish gradients in site quality of forests. Forest canopy structure can be measured on the ground by quantifying the leaf area in the forest or through forest cover estimation.

   Why is canopy structure important?

   • Interception and transmission of precipitation are also affected, as are soil temperature and soil heat flow. Canopy structure can therefore be important in determining the physical environment of other organisms within the plant community, and can strongly influence their success or failure.

   How do you think about canopy structure?

   • Another way of thinking about canopy structure is in terms of the arrangement of leaves and branches in the canopy in 3D. Knowing how these canopy elements are arranged can tell us a lot about how the forest will function and the values that the forest can provide to ecosystems and human society.

   What is plant canopy structure?

   • Introduction Plant canopy structure is the spatial arrangement of the above-ground organs of plants in a plant community. Leaves and other photosynthetic organs on a plant serve both as solar energy collectors and as exchangers for gases.

   What is a canopy in architecture?

   • David M. Jarzen, in Forest Canopies (Second Edition), 2004 The term “canopy” connotes an uppermost layer, a covering for an important person or sacred object, the enclosure over an airplane cockpit, the surface of a parachute, the topmost ornamentation in architecture, or any tent-like covering.

   Feb 1, 2017 · Forest canopy structure can mean a lot of different things. Often scientists are interested in the total quantity of leaf area in a forest, because those leaves are the photosynthetic system of the trees and thus determine how much they grow and how much carbon they pull out of the atmosphere.

   The forest canopy, however, is now considered a structurally complex and ecologically critical subsystem of the forest, and is defined as “the combination of all foliage, twigs, fine branches, their attending flora and fauna, the interstices (air), and their environment” (Parker 1995; Moffett 2000).
