I found a possible controlled vocabulary for this term in ENVO ontology:

The Vegetation layer defines the terms:

• canopy:
  • crop canopy.
  • forest canopy.
  • woodland canopy
• herb and fern layer
• litter layer
• shrub layer
• understory

Can we use that vocabulary instead of define a new one?

I suggest the following controlled vocabulary: canopy; sub-canopy; understory

from ppi.

This term will be applied only for entries made in the forest environment, is it so? Perhaps that term was not fundamental now.

When I saw the term without the definition, I thought about the location of the flower that received the pollinator's visit in relation to the plant (individual): upper third, middle third and lower third of the plant, when it comes to herbaceous plants, etc.

I agree with @anselmoeco that this term will will be applied only for entries made in the forest environment and it is not fundamental now.

Not useful at this moment. It will be removed.
