The forest canopy is the functional interface between 90% of Earth's terrestrial biomass and
the atmosphere. Multidisciplinary research in the canopy has expanded concepts of global
species richness, physiological processes, and the provision of ecosystem services. Trees
respond in a species-specific manner to elevated carbon dioxide levels, while climate
change threatens plant-animal interactions in the canopy and will likely alter the production
of biogenic aerosols that affect cloud formation and atmospheric chemistry.
