Stratification (vertical layering of vegetation) is most pronounced in tropical forests due to the high biodiversity and competition for light. Tropical rainforests show distinct layers - forest floor, understory, canopy, and emergent layer - each with specialized plant and animal communities. Deserts have minimal stratification due to sparse vegetation, while deciduous forests and tundras have simpler vertical structure compared to tropical forests.
