canopea (formado por arboles)


Explanation:
Canopea (bosque)
De Wikipedia

La Canopea también denominado como Dosel Forestal es el hábitat que se encuentra en el nivel superior de un bosque, especialmente en las selvas. Los Árboles de la Canopea se refiere a los árboles más altos de un bosque que se distinguen de esta manera de los árboles secundarios que ocupan los nichos ecológicos más bajos.

Canopy (forest)
From Wikipedia

The canopy is the uppermost level of a forest, formed by the tree crowns. Canopy trees refers to the trees in a forest which form the canopy. The uneven layers of the canopy is formed by both dominant and co-dominant trees. Emergents - of which there are typically one or two per hecatre - reach above the canopy.

bóveda del bananal/platanal


Explanation:
Interpreto que la bóveda de un bosque es similar a la bóveda de un bananal/platanal. ¿Un platanero es un árbol o es una mata?
