2. Hypothesis
We predict that if we remove the Sub
Canopy layer, it would take trees away and
some animals’ homes. The whole layer that
contains trees growing higher to the
Emergent layer and through the Canopy
layer will be effected. The birds will starve
because there would be less berries to eat.
Also, there would be less shade and all the
plants in the lower layer would die.
3. Diagram and information of the Sub Canopy
The sub canopy is the 3rd layer . It contains small
trees and saplings. It is above the undergrowth layer
and forest floor. It is under the canopy layer and the
emergent layer. The sub canopy is a very important
layer that will help our environment and creates
homes for animals.
4. How long does it take for a tree to
grow?
ANSWER
It takes 50 to 100 years for a tree to
grow to the emergent layer.
5. •Why do birds live in trees?
ANSWER
•Birds live in trees because most animals
can’t reach them and the birds nests are
hard to spot.
6. •In our hypothesis we predicted that if we
remove the sub canopy layer, it would take
trees away and some animal homes and we
were correct. The reason why we were
correct is because if there were less trees
there would be less berries and the birds
would starve and die.
