Growing asepiphytesin the Central American rainforest,bromeliads use their thick roots to anchor themselves high in the trees. They gather rainwater and nutrients in their leavesthat grow in the form of an urn. These rain-storing plants are home to many living creatures such as frogs and tadp...
We investigated the PD and structure of understorey plants; a diverse and ecologically important, yet poorly studied group. We studied four prominent land use systems (tropical lowland rainforest, jungle rubber agroforest, rubber plantations, and oil palm plantations) in the lowlands of Sumatra (...
Here we test how direct seeding works with and without a plastic protector that covers seeds and seedlings, in an early锕晆ccessional rainforest in Veracruz (Mexico). Two native species, Calophyllum brasiliense ("bar铆") and Vochysia guatemalensis ("corpo"), at three topographic positions, ...

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
A high proportion of plants in this environment have small leaves that contain high levels of toxic or unpalatable substances. A variant of the tropical rainforest, the mangrove forest, is found along estuaries and on sheltered sea coasts in tidally inundated, muddy soils (see boundary ecosystem...
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...
