Giant Trees | Rainforests
Written by earthfacts.net
The giant trees of the tropical rainforest's emergent layer live in a harsh environment, exposed to the high temperatures, strong winds and low humidity found above the canopy.

The leaves that they bear when they are adults are smaller and tougher than those they have as young trees.
