HAVE A LOOK AT TROPICAL FOREST
WELCOME
"Tropical forests" encompass the idyllic rainforest, the remote cloud forest, and
the lesser-known but equally endangered dry forest, pine savanna and much,
much more. They are not one ecosystem, but millions of unique ecosystems.
Tropical forests are both the fearsome Jungle of our fantasy and the fertile Eden
of our myth. They are the central nervous system of our planet -- a hotbed of
evolution, life and diversity.

Characteristics of the tropical forest
Because of the lack of seasonal differences, due to the geographical location of the forests, and the high humidity level the vegetation is luxuriant here. > high animal and vegetal biodiversity> evergreen trees> dark and sparse undergrowth interspersed with clearings> scanty litter > presence of “strangler” creepers.> presence of “buttresses” and > spindly roots in trees living in often-flooded areas.
THANK YOU
