Types of Leaves

Forest layers

Canopy

Tallest trees Tops of trees form a ceiling Treetops stop a lot of the light Protects the soil from erosion

Understory

Smaller trees with thin trunks Stop just below canopy Wait for a gap to grow into canopy

Shrub Layer

Small shrubs (woody stems but small) Grow between the smaller trees

Forest Floor

Dark Covered in a layer of leaves, twigs, and dead plants Decayed leaves provide nutrients to soil Alive with invertebrates and microorganisms

Alternate or Opposite Leaves

Simple Leaf

Compound leaf

Compound Leaf

Leaf Margins (edges) Smooth

Serrated = with teeth
