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 ...

Tropical Rainforest Biome Facts 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 ...
Tropical Rain Forest Tropical wet forests occupy the drainage of the Amazon and southern Orinoco basin, the piedmont of the Andes in northern and western South America, the Choco-Darien region between the Andes and the Pacific Ocean in western Colombia, and the southwest and Atlantic coast of Br...

Soil fungi are key players in nutrient cycles as decomposers, mutualists and pathogens, but the impact of tropical rain forest transformation into rubber or oil palm plantations on fungal community structures and their ecological functions are unknown. W

(e.g., variations in soil, topography, and vegetation types), largely governed by climate, defines the balance between savanna, dry forest, and rainforest. Considerable variations in TDFs have also been observed in different localities and across continents in terms of floristic compositions (...
Second, diversities from the same biome but from different continents or provinces differ as a function of their areal extent (e.g., rain forest vertebrates and plants as well as tropical freshwater fish increase in richness as their areal extent increases). Situations in which the general ...
Drought impacts on microbial activity can alter soil carbon fate and lead to the loss of stored carbon to the atmosphere as CO2and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Here we examined drought impacts on carbon allocation by soil microbes in the Biosphere 2 artificial tropical rainforest by tracking...
