Rainforests are divided into different strata, or layers, with vegetation organized into a vertical pattern from the top of the soil to the canopy[16]?Each layer is a unique biotic community containing different plants and animals adapted for life in that particular strata. Only the emergent layer is unique to tropical rainforests, while the others are also found in temperate rainforests. 15
