Forest Canopy

What is the uppermost layer of a forest called?

• Understory

• Branches

• Roots

• Canopy

Which type of trees typically make up the forest canopy?

• Bushes and shrubs

• Short and coniferous trees

• Tall and broadleaf trees

• Medium and deciduous trees

What is the primary function of the forest canopy?

• Provide food, water, and nutrients

• Serve as a habitat for various wildlife

• Act as a windbreak, preventing soil erosion

• Provide shade, shelter, and protection

How does the forest canopy affect the temperature within the forest?

• The forest canopy creates a greenhouse effect, raising the temperature within the forest.

• The forest canopy blocks direct sunlight, keeping the temperature cooler within the forest.

• The forest canopy has no impact on the temperature within the forest.

• The forest canopy absorbs sunlight, increasing the temperature within the forest.

What role does the forest canopy play in the ecosystem?

• The forest canopy has no impact on the ecosystem

• The forest canopy provides habitat, regulates temperature, reduces soil erosion, and absorbs carbon dioxide.

• The forest canopy increases pollution levels

• The forest canopy causes deforestation

What are some adaptations of plants in the forest canopy to capture sunlight?

• Narrow leaves

• Horizontal orientation

• Thick leaves

• Broad leaves, thin leaves, vertical orientation

How does the forest canopy contribute to biodiversity?

• The forest canopy provides a habitat for a wide variety of plant and animal species, creating diverse ecosystems that support biodiversity.

• The forest canopy reduces biodiversity by limiting sunlight and resources for other species.

• The forest canopy has no impact on biodiversity as it only consists of a few dominant species.

• The forest canopy contributes to biodiversity by creating a homogenous environment for all species.

What are some threats to the forest canopy?

• Urbanization

• Overpopulation

• Deforestation, wildfires, climate change, invasive species, pollution

• Overfishing

How does deforestation impact the forest canopy?

• Deforestation reduces the forest canopy by decreasing the number of trees, leading to negative impacts on the ecosystem.

• Deforestation leads to the expansion of the forest canopy

• Deforestation has no impact on the forest canopy

• Deforestation increases the forest canopy by promoting tree growth

What are some conservation efforts aimed at protecting the forest canopy?

• Implementing sustainable logging practices, establishing protected areas, promoting reforestation and afforestation projects, conducting research on canopy biodiversity, and raising awareness.

• Ignoring biodiversity research

• Encouraging deforestation

• Allowing unregulated logging
