In the Pacific Northwest, for example, the threatened Northern spotted owl and the endangered marbled murrelet make their homes in the extensive canopies of old-growth forests.
The extensive tree canopy and the use of native plants, she says, make the garden more resilient in the face of a changing climate, needing less water, no chemical fertilizers and few, if any, pesticides.
Tropical forests, also, consist of extensive open canopy and low biomass woodlands, such as the miombo woodlands.
Since the mid-1990s the forests of central British Columbia have undergone an unprecedented Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) (MPB) epidemic that has resulted in extensive mortality of canopy lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. latifolia Engelm).
The path initially skirted the top of the canopy, offering extensive views of the Nam Ou valley below, before once again dropping into the shade of the jungle, providing welcome relief from the intense midday heat.
Transformation of South African succulent thicket in response to grazing is widespread and characterized by the extensive replacement of dense closed-canopy thicket with a 'pseudo-savanna' of remnant trees with an ephemeral field layer.
Extensive areas of forest experienced partial canopy cover reduction since 2000, particularly in the tropics where their area is ∼6.5 times that deforested since 1990.
We did determine that the principal host, C. leonardi, constructs its nests in the high canopy and has an extensive network of aerial trails (Figure 5 represents this).
They are in the Italianate style with influences of Regency architecture, and have two bow windows with bonnet-style canopies above, stuccoed walls with extensive rustication, prominently bracketed eaves and cast iron balconies.
