Canopy trees are able to photosynthesize relatively rapidly with abundant light, so it supports the majority of primary productivity in forests. The canopy layer provides protection from strong winds and storms while also intercepting sunlight and precipitation, leading to a relatively sparsely vegetated understory layer.

Crown shyness (also canopy disengagement, [1] canopy shyness, [2] or inter-crown spacing [3]) is a phenomenon observed in some tree species, in which the crowns of fully stocked trees do not touch each other, forming a canopy with channel-like gaps.
Crown closure, also known as canopy closure, is an integrated measure of the canopy "over a segment of the sky hemisphere above one point on the ground". [1] Crown cover is the proportion of a stand covered by the crowns of live trees. A forest stand can have a crown cover of 100% and a crown closure less than 100%.
Canopy is formed by the mass of intertwined branches, twigs, and leaves of mature trees. The crowns of the dominant trees receive most of the sunlight. This is the most productive part of the trees, where maximum food is produced. The canopy forms a shady, protective "umbrella" over the rest of the forest.
The Tree Top Walk, was the first canopy walkway constructed in Australia. It can be found in Lamington National Park at O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat , in southern Queensland. Built in 1988, it is 180 metres in length and constructed using 9 small suspension bridges.

Tree crown. The crown of a plant is the total of an individual plant's aboveground parts, including stems, leaves, and reproductive structures.A plant community canopy consists of one or more plant crowns growing in a given area.
