The Guineo-Congolian phytogeographic region represents the largest regional centre of endemism for the African rainforest, being subdivided into three subcentres: Upper Guinea (West Africa), Lower Guinea and Congolia (White, 1979; Figure 1). Refuge theory in this region is supported by palaeo...
Geographic RegionsNatural ResourcesPollutionTropical rainforests occur where the climate is warm and wet year-round, which limits their distribution to lowlands within tropical latitudes. Complex vegetation structure, high taxonomic diversity, and specificity in biological relationships are distinguishing ...
We further argue that the Congo rainforest should also be considered a tipping element. Because our results indicate that forest cover in the Congo is bistable, but that global climate change may enhance forest resilience, we suggest that deforestation has a potentially larger effect on its ...
According to preliminary statistics, there are 4,367 species of higher plants and 651 species of wild vertebrates in the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, one of the first five national parks established in China. Previously, the tropical island issued relevant measures to improve marine nat...
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...

(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 (...
