Tropical rainforest

Tropical deforestation is an issue that has plagued mankind since the beginning of time. It is an important component of global change and has a large influence on many different environmental issues we have today such as climate change and carbon emissions. Over a twelve year period that ended in 2012, 1.1 million km2 of tropical forest was lost, with the rate of forest loss increasing during this span. One of the largest and most biodiverse tropical forests’ in the world is the Amazon,…

Tropical Rainforest Biome Essay I am doing my biome essay on the Tropical Rainforest the reason I did this biome is because it has the most animals and we get most of our medicine from the rainforest. I will be talking about how we are losing the Tropical Rainforest from deforestation. I also will talk about the organisms such as plants and animals that are in Tropical Rainforest. The climate will be a big part in this essay also. Here is my essay on the Tropical Rainforest. The Tropical…

throughout mountainous regions of Central and South America, Africa, and Southeast Asia, are complex ecosystems characterized by low fog cover at the canopy level, which enhances moisture levels, and cooler temperatures than lowland tropical rainforests (Doumenge, 1995). These tropical montane forests are host to an incredible number of species, many of which are endemic to their area (Doumenge, 1995). Epiphytes, plants that root in other plants for structural support while obtaining water and…

Tropical rainforests are important as they are home to more than 2 million species, which represents over half of the world’s species of plants, animals, insects and a great variety of fungi. This also contributes to the huge biodiversity of the rainforests. The continuous canopy of the trees is a habitat for some species of plants to grow and animals can live in. Tropical rainforests are also home to indigenous people, who depend on the rainforests for their resources for survival. According…

Good morning/afternoon, a rainforest is a forest that has annually 250 to 450 centimetres of rain. A tropical rainforest is a rainforest that is found close to the equator in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. Tropical rainforests are only found in environments that are the same temperature almost every day and are always wet. The reason Tropical rainforests are found in Nigeria is because Nigeria is located close to the equator which provides the…

Each rainforest differs in the animals it inhabits. Some of the animals that can be found are insects, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals (EL, 2014: para.4). The animals live in the four layers of the rainforest. The Emergent layer: This is for animals such as parrots, vultures and eagles, macaws. The vultures help eat the dead animals which help keep the rainforest clean, the birds from this layer also help to create new plants in this rainforest by eating seeds then dropping them…

The tropical rainforest climate is very diverse and interesting. The combination of the climate, vegetation, animals, and uses that the tropical rainforest provides is extensive. One day I will visit one of the few locations of the tropical rainforest, but first I need to know some basic information; where the tropical rainforest is located, the climate and weather, vegetation, animal life, production and people, and impact on the biome. This biome is located on the equator but doesn’t restrict…

Tropical Rainforests used to make up 12% of the earth's land but sadly because of deforestation it only makes up 6% of the earth's land. The tropical rainforests get their name from the yearly rain fall; an average of 392.5 cm of rain drowns the Tropical rainforests around the world, tropical rainforests are the home of half of the worlds animals and plants, 70% of the plants in Tropical Rainforests are trees, 40% of all the oxygen in the world gets produced in Tropical Rainforests around the…

Rainforests are beautiful ecosystems where trees, plants, insects, and other wildlife thrive. There are rainforests all over the world; even some in the United States. The rainforest holds many wonders humans have yet to discover. The largest and oldest ecosystems on Earth are rainforests. There can be as many as 500 tons of living things per acre. Over 50% of the world’s animal and plant species are found in the rainforest. Four layers make up the rainforest; the first of the four is the…
