The Tropical Rainforest Biome In Tropical Rainforests

The Interdependence of plants, animals, and humans is integral in the Amazon Rainforest ecosystem of the tropical rainforest biome. The key features of the Amazon Rainforest is the Amazon River. The Amazon Rainforest goes through Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and many other countries. Colombia has 10%, Brazil has 60%, and Peru has 13%. 80-90 degrees during the day and 50 degrees at night is the temperature of the Amazon Rainforest. There are dry and wet seasons. it gets 9 to 10 feet of rain a year. The terrain is in the Amazon Rainforest are rocky mountains, wetlands , plains, valleys, rivers, streams, and highlands. The dirt is poor with very few nutrients and it is very muddy. It is also dense with trees and rotting logs. The thin topsoils, made of decaying vegetable and animal parts, take up all the nutrients. In the Amazon Rainforest there 's the Congo River, the Rio Negro, and the Amazon River.

Deforestation will continue for a long time, due to financial gain and people needing more space for agriculture or clearing out forest due to urbanisation and similar developments. Agriculture is the main cause, as farmers need large spaces for planting crops and keeping animals; however they can do a lot damage to forests at the same time. Forests are obviously abundant in vegetation; however tropical rainforests are often on soil which contains low levels of nutrients in thin layers. The bulk of rock beneath is prone to erosion from the rain and high temperatures of the tropics. Substantial amounts of nutrients which are vital for animal communities are contained

You could not pair two more different biomes than the tropical rainforest and the desert. One has all the variations of exotic animals and the other has barely no biotic features at all. The later has animals that fight to the death over water and the first has plenty of water for everyone and then some! Even so, there are some things both have, like relatively same temperatures. Water is probably the most important abiotic factor on the face of the earth.

More than half of the world’s tropical rainforests can be found in Central and South America, however they are also present in south eastern Asia and Africa. All of the world’s tropical rainforests can be found at the approximate location of -20 degrees latitude, also known as the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These types of areas exist because of the specific climate, soil types, and diversity present in these regions. This specific area falls in the equatorial and tropical zone and are therefore their climates are controlled by the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) and it’s low pressure centers around the equator. Winds present are moist equatorial (mE) and moist tropical

Tropical rainforests are the Earth?s oldest, richest, most productive, and most complex living ecosystems. They are located throughout many of the world?s continents including South America, Africa, and Asia and are defined by a few specific factors. Their location must be within the regions of the tropics and they must receive between 4-8 meters of rain per year (compared to about 1-2 meters in the United States). These forests also have no ?seasonality?, which means that they lack a definite dry or cold season of slowed growth.

I decided to do my presentation on biomes but not just any biome, I decided on the Tropical Rainforest. The tropical rainforest biome is an ecosystem that covers 6 percent of the earth. They are found all over the earth but the majority lie in South America. Tropical rainforests are defined by their hot and wet climate. The average temperature in this area is around 75 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. These areas often get up to 12 hours of sunlight due to being located on the Earths equator. Obviously, since it’s called a rainforest, it gets a lot of rain. Most rainforests get up to 100 inches of rain annually. Because of this warm, wet climate, the rainforest is an ideal habitat for a wide range fauna and flora. Some examples of the fauna that live

The tropical rainforest biome is located near the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, as well as along the equator.

The vegetation dominated biome, commonly known as the tropical rainforest, inhabits the most known and unknown plant and animal species in the world. The biome is located at the lower end of the equator, which brings constant warm and wet weather conditions during the daytime. Many tropical rainforests are located in the Central America and Australia regions. Overall, the Tropical Rainforest has great biodiversity and constant temperatures that make it such a distinct biome.

The Amazon rainforest location is in South America. It could be describe as a jungle and the area where it location is known to belong to about nine different countries. It is however know that the Amazon rain forest belong mostly to brazil because according to McGann (2005) Brazil has 60% of the total area which the forest occupy.

Tropical Rainforests are located nearest to the Earth’s Equator; they take up 7% of space on the earth’s surface. Tropical Rainforests are found in places like South America, Africa, South East Asia, and Australia. Tropical Rainforests are viewed as natures global powerhouses, this is due to the amount of 60-160 inches of rain that they produce each year, which then gets distributed all over the planet. The constant rain combined with the warmth of tropical rainforests which ranges from 21°-30° Celsius makes a habitable environment for many species’.

The average rain fall a rain forest receives is 50 to 260 inches yearly (125-660 centimeters). Rain forest belongs in a wet climate. Its temperature does not go higher than 93 degrees (34 degrees Celsius) or drop below 68 degrees (20 degrees Celsius). The rain forests average humidity is 77%-88%. Almost all rain forests are near the equator. Half of all plant and animal species are in the rain forest. Tropical rain forests produce 40% of earth’s oxygen. ¼ of all plants in the rain forest creates medicine. 100-300 species are in the rain forest mostly in South America. That would be 2 and ½ acre (1 Hectare).

The Amazon rainforest is the largest rainforest in the world, with about 5.5 million km2, of which 3.3 million are in Brazil, representing 45% of the country. The remaining 40% are divided between French Guiana, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. The Amazon region is also home to the largest river basin in the world, with an area of 7.3 million km2.

This rainforest covers an area stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the eastern slopes of the Andes. It covers more than 6.5 million square kilometers in the northern part of South America, passing through nine countries: Brazil, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Suriname, Guyana and French Guiana. 69% of this area belongs to Brazil.

Deforestation is the cutting down of a large area of trees and the destruction of forests by people. Forests are what we call an exhaustible resource, one which can be used up if it is not used carefully. Over the last few decades, deforestation has threatened the rainforests with total extinction. To understand why deforestation is such an important issue, you first have to understand why trees matter. Trees improve in many ways the life of all species, including the human race.

So in a Rainforest it is not just a normal piece of land it has some very unique features about it that make it seem like a rainforest. Most of the land is a warm and thick forest and has tons of plants and wildlife. And something that it doesn’t have then the others is very high rainfall,no frost, and lots of evergreen trees. In one year all the rain add up together is usually 8
