On average, tropical rainforests receive annualprecipitationof more than 150cm. In a single month, the rainforest can receive 4 inches of rain. Tropical rainforest differs from other climates. Evaporation in other climates is transported to fall as rain in other far areas. In tropical rainforests...
Annual precipitation, mm Area receiving <1500 mm Species loss is studied in deliberately created forest fragments, here shown in Brazil Deforestation is due both to slash and burn for agriculture and to cutting for timber and firewood Crop yield drops quickly after slash and burn agricultural ...
The eddy covariance flux measurements from 2003 to 2006 at a tropical rain forest site in Xishuangbanna, southwest China, were used to study the ecosystem evapotranspiration (ET). During the four study years, the mean annual precipitation and air temperature were slightly lower than their long-term...

The results showed that, the precipitation, mean relative humidity and mean vapor pressure on annual basis have been rising in the past 26 years over the Jianfengling forest. Annual mean vapor pressure increased significantly and annual sunshine hours, evaporation and mean wind speed also exhibited ...
Southeastern Asian tropical rain forests are among the most important biomes in terms of annual productivity and water cycling. How their hydrologic budgets are altered by projected shifts in precipitation is examined using a combination of field measurements, global climate model (GCM) simulation output...
(mean plot area 1.22 ha, median 1 ha, range 0.92–10 ha; 2% of plots 0.9–0.99 ha, 88% of plots 1 ha, 8% of plots 1.01–5 ha, 1% of plots >5 ha) with mean temperature of 24.3 °C (range 16.2–27.6 °C), mean annual precipitation 1,802 mm...
Their meta-analysis for hundreds of catchments revealed that in general forestation reduces annual river flow (by 23% after 5 years and 38% after 25 years) with greater reductions in catchments with higher mean annual precipitation and larger increases in forest cover. In addition, they ...
It can not just stay in the cloud that surrounds the forest forever. So, it comes back down as precipitation. The tropical rainforest allows humans to benefit financially. Humans are constantly cutting down rainforest to use the lumber to Get Access...
The first thing you’ll notice when you visit a tropical rainforest is the abundance of plants, both in shear biomass and total biodiversity. Plants thrive when the yearly average temperature and precipitation, in the form of tropical rains, is high. Below, we describe their main characteristics...
