What is in a forest habitat? Where are tropical forests found in Africa? What are some ecological concerns in the tropical rainforest? Does it snow in a tropical evergreen forest? What animals live in the tropical dry forest biome?
These dense evergreen forests are located at elevations between 2000 and 3500m in humid, marine, and equatorial conditions. Tropical forests are significant carbon sinks; they also harbor biodiversity hotspots, and provide agricultural land for people living around or inside these forests. Forest ...
Decomposition was furthermore faster in the disturbed forest compared to the two other forest types (Table 3). Table 3. F-statistics and an associated p-value of the linear mixed model testing the impact of litter quality (proportion of evergreen tree leaf litter in mixture), forest type, ...
This biome includes tropical seasonal forests, which occur in humid tropical climates with a pronounced dry season, as well as tropical rainforests. Tropical seasonal forests are characterized by a mix of evergreen and deciduous species, with some forest types dominated solely by deciduous species. ...
Closed evergreen or semi-evergreen forests that have been temporarily disturbed for a period of a maximum of 2.5 years by selective logging, fire, or unusual weather events. We derived the year since the last degradation from the JRC-TMF dataset used as a proxy for forest recovery. To attri...
Why is the Amazon rainforest being cut down? Why is the forest biome important? How do plants adapt to a temperate forest? Why is soil in temperate forests thick and fertile? What causes dips in the EVI profile of an evergreen forest? Why does deforestation reduce biodiversity? What are ...
The wet tropics have almost no annual temperature variation and tremendous amounts of rain fall year round, between 175 and 250 cm (65 and 100 inches). These conditions support the tropical rainforest biome.Tropical rainforestsare dominated by densely packed, broadleaf evergreen trees. These rainf...

True rain forest usually has 100 to 250 different tree species in 1 hectare (2.47 acres), including palms and stranglers (which germinate in a tree crown then grow up and down, eventually surrounding the host). These trees are mostly evergreen and come in many forms: with round, fluted, ...
