Tropical forests are significant carbon sinks; they also harbor biodiversity hotspots, and provide agricultural land for people living around or inside these forests. Forest products contribute significantly to tax revenues and the gross domestic products of tropical countries....
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. ...
The tropical rainforest biome is an ecosystem that covers about 7% of the Earth’s surface. They are found all over the world but the majority of the tropical rainforest lies in South America in Brazil. The weather in the tropical rainforest is rainy yet pleasant all year round, day or ...
Tropical rainforest biome is an ecology or ecosystem composed of mainly vegetation communities. The trees are closely spaced, and the crowns interact with each other to result in an unbroken canopy of plants. Tropical rainforests are abundant. Statistically, they cover approximately 7% of thesurface ...
The tropical dry forest is a biome located primarily in Central and South America. This biome is dominated by trees of the genus Cecropia and is characterized by various plants and animals. The forest is characterized by a high percentage of mesic (moist) vegetation and a large amount of xeri...

Figure 1: No relationship across the tropical forest biome between carbon stocks per unit area and tree species richness. Green circles = plots in South America (n = 158), orange squares = Africa (n = 162) and purple triangles = Asia (n = 40). Boxplots show...
The Amazon forest could partially recover from complete deforestation, but may lose that resilience later this century. The Congo forest currently lacks resilience, but is predicted to gain it under climate change, whereas forests in Australasia are resilient under both current and future climates. ...
The Amazon is a major biome for helping to stabilize the water and temperature of its region and possibly even the whole planet. But increasingly it is subject to droughts leading to the possibility of a runaway drying into a far less diverse forest and even an emergent savannah. In essence...
How does humidity affect the tropical rainforest biome? Rainforest Biome: The Rainforest biome consists of tall trees that grow to a height of 60 meters and above. There are other plants in these biomes as there is high rainfall. There are two types of rainforest biome: tropical rainforest...
