The jungle monkey is my 9 year old daughter. She starts 4th grade on Monday and wishes she was graduating already. Our small, quaint apartment is located in the quiet, cowtown of Amarillo, Texas.

Terrestrial Ecology Introduction We know that light is an important part of both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In a forest system both the canopy and the understory absorb light. The type of forest and leaf cover present determines the amount of light that reaches the understory.
