        1. Here are the layers:
          1. Emergent Layer: 200ft. The tallest trees are the emergents, towering above the forest floor with trunks that measure up to 16 feet around. Sunlight is plentiful up here.
            1. Canopy Layer: 200ft. This is the primary layer of the forest and forms a roof over the two remaining layers. Most canopy trees have smooth, oval leaves that come to a point.
              1. Understory Layer: 12ft. Little sunshine reaches this area so the plants have to grow larger leaves to reach the sunlight.
                1. Forest floor: (ground+). It's very dark down here. Almost no plants grow in this area, Very hardly any sunlight.

                                          1. Affects of Damage
                                            1. Animals go homeless
