5. Question
The boundary layer in a forest where energy exchange occurs and some insolation (incoming solar radiation) is returned directly to space is the forest canopy. Forest canopy is the upper layer or habitat zone formed by mature tree crowns and including other biological organisms. It intercepts the solar radiation first, facilitates its transformation into heat or other forms of energy, and reflects a portion back to the space thereby serving as the boundary layer for energy exchange.
