LOOKING DOWN ON THE FOREST CANOPY

The rainforest is a conglomerate of communities living at different levels.  All interacting with a delicate symmetry.  The leaves at the top of the highest trees are small to reduce evaporation, while the roots are deep to supply the water needed for these great trees.  Under their shade, in the tranquil understory, the leaves of the plants are large to collect what light they can, and they are more delicate – shallow roots and slender stems.
