Which layers of the forest?

I have an assignment in biology that says, "Name the four layers of a mixed deciduous forest." But every time I Google it, I get five layers instead of four.

It is easy to split differently. I suppose you learned the simplest form. You should therefore better keep in your teaching material and not the web, because (even in categorizations) there is often more than a right solution. However, practically in all subjects, only one solution is called to prevent the students from confusing in addition.

Layers that are to be kept apart in any case:

  • Tree layer
  • Shrub layer
  • Coating
  • "The under" = floor layer

Here is a material for teaching with 4 floors 02-Stockwerke-des-Waldes.pdf (bildung-mv.de)

In higher classes, study of biology, etc. is then more finely divided.

I would combine the moss and the herb layer into one layer.
