Questions & Answers .

1. Why do you think the branches are found only on one third of the trunks ?

     They are adapted to the lack of sunlight because of the little sunlight when passes        through the canopy layer .

2. What do you notice about the undergrowth ? Suggest reasons why .

     It is sparse because little sunlight passes through the interlocking canopy , and there is not much plant growth there .

3. DO YOU THINK TEMASEK FOREST IS A PRIMARY OR SECONDARY FOREST ? WHY ? You are to cite evidence based on your observations .

     It is a secondary forest . The canopy layer is not distinct with only some form of interlocking branches . More sunlight is able to pass through the canopy .
