Rainforest soil generally had higher soil total C and microbial biomass C concentration, smaller soil aggregate proportions, and a soil pH below rubber plantation soil. The bacterial and fungal richness and diversity were similar after converting primary forests to rubber plantations. However, the ...
Ordination analysis of the T-RFLP data revealed significant separation of the fungal communities according to forest type along the first canonical axis, with the native rainforest samples separating from the three Araucariaceae plantations along the second axis. Overall, the most abundant ITS ...
Tropical rainforest - Biodiversity, Ecosystems, Canopy: Tropical rainforests are distinguished not only by a remarkable richness of biota but also by the complexity of the interrelationships of all the plant and animal inhabitants that have been evolving
Brazil - Tropical, Rainforest, Humid: Brazil has a humid tropical and subtropical climate except for a drier area in the Northeast, sometimes called the drought quadrilateral or drought polygon, that extends from northern Bahia to the coast between Natal
Rainfall: rainforests receive at least 80 inches (200 cm) of rain per year. Canopy: rainforests have a canopy, which is the layer of branches and leaves formed by closely spaced rainforest trees some 30 meters (100 feet) off the ground. A large proportion of the plants and animals in th...
