What is a tree canopy (areas covered by trees)?

Tree canopies in cities refer to the layer of leaves, branches, and stems of trees that provide shade and other benefits to urban environments. They can help to reduce the urban heat island effect, improve air and water quality, and provide habitat for wildlife. However, urban tree canopies are often threatened by development, climate change, and other factors, which can negatively impact the health and well-being of city residents.
