2. HYPOTHESIS
We predict that if the emergent layer is not there, birds
will no longer have their homes.
The emergent layer provides food for different types of
animals, but without the emergent layer animals will
have less food and they will starve.
It also provides shade for plants, trees and living
creatures, therefore the plants and animals will get
burnt and will dry out, as they will have less shade.
3. EMERGENT
The emergent layer is a high tree section.
It’s the highest out of all the layers.
It provides food for different types of
animals.
It provides shade, without shade the plants
can dry out.
4. How do emergent trees
grow so high?
The reason trees grow so high is
because they can get to the light for
them to grow even more!
5. Why do birds live in the
emergent layer?
Birds live there so they don’t get
attacked by all the big animals and
bigger birds.
6. What other types offood
can trees grow?
There is more than you think like…
Nectar, leaves, shoots, flowers, insects, f
lax, seeds, green berries and pollen.
7. Where would birds live if the emergent
layer was gone?
Answer
in the canopy because it is still really
high.
8. Conclusion
We predicted that if the emergent layer was
gone they would have less shade and food
and we were correct.
If there was no emergent layer plants would
dry out and starve.
