The tropical rainforest is one of the world’s most threatenedbiomesdespite being home to some of the planet’s most diverse and unique species. Many of the world’s most colorful creatures reside in rainforests

and Puʻuwaʻawaʻa in the district of north Kona on the island of Hawaiʻi, as the richest botanical regions in the islands. Theselowlanddry and mesic forests once were considered to have more native tree species than any other region and any rainforest in the Hawaiian islands (Roc...
Tropical forest biodiversity is potentially at high risk from climate change, but most species reside within or below the canopy, where they are buffered from extreme temperatures. Here, by modelling the hourly below-canopy climate conditions of 300,000
3.1.2Forest cover and condition data To map extant tropical forest cover, we used the forest cover data of Hansen et al. (2013) updated to account for forest loss up to 2018. We used two additional datasets to provide the most reliable available pan-tropical data on forest condition. The...
tropical rainforest, luxuriant forest found in wet tropical uplands and lowlands around the Equator. Tropical rainforests, which worldwide make up one of Earth’s largest biomes (major life zones), are dominated by broad-leaved trees that form a dense upper canopy (layer of foliage) and contain...

Tropical rain forest has its largest extent in Asia from peninsular Malaysia through the East Indies and southern Philippines. It can also be found, however, along the mainland coast from peninsular Thailand and Myanmar to Bangladesh, in Kerala and southwestern Sri Lanka, and northward through the...
700 m2steel and glass-enclosed building harbouring five distinct biomes, including a 1,900 m2tropical rainforest—an enclosed ecosystem with variable topography and microhabitats where rain and temperature can be controlled. In 2019, a 65-day drought was imposed on the tropical rainforest to...
Specifically, we present the process of training and validating a CNN U-Net model to map forest degradation with distinct attributions to logging, fire, and road construction, and evaluate the performance of the DL-DEGRAD by comparing it to available products. Our study addresses a major gap in...
