Chapter 39, Problem 6WIO
Summary Introduction
To explain:
Why the descendants of tropical rain forest plant is unlikely to colonize the nearby savanna.
Concept introduction:
The tropical rainforest characterized by moist and warm climatic condition. This biome is also rich in species that contain a wide variety of plants, animals, reptiles, mammals and so on. Savanna is a part of tropical grassland that contains scattered or clumps of trees. In the savanna, the rate of precipitation is very low and consider in dry area.
