What Is The Tropical Rainforest Biome

My biome is Temperate Rainforest, the animal I will be talking about is a grizzly bear and my plant is a tree. The Grizzly bear is the key member to the Temperate Rainforest. With the Grizzly strong jaw he/she can take down any sort of prey. Throughout the winter Grizzly bears hibernate and conserve there energy. During spring time the Grizzly bears thick claws help them swipe at fish. When new cubs are welcome to the Temperate Rainforest they have to stay with their mom for 2-3 years, only to make sure they can survive on their own. This means after the cubs turn three their parents leave them to be alone in the world. Grizzly bears are omnivores they can eat seeds, berries, roots, and deer. Male grizzly bears can grow about up to 6.5-8

Below the understory there is a woody shrub layer and non-woody herb layer (citation). An adaptation present in many trees native to this area is the “drip-tip”. This is advantageous because if water is allowed to sit on leaves and then the hot sun returns - it can easily burn the leaves causing the trees to be stressed and often defoliate. The other limiting factor that determines the type of vegetation present in the tropical rainforest is soil.

One of the biome which I found interesting was the Amazon rainforest. The Amazon Rainforest is region which is owned by more than 1 country because of its land mass. It is actually owned by 9 nations. This biome is situated in the amazon basin of South Africa. The Amazon Rainforest covers 5,500,000 km2 (2,123,562 sq mi) of total 7000000 km2 of the Amazon basin. This particular rainforest cover more than 50% of the world rainforest biome. So as to understand this particular rainforest biome better, I am going to talk about the Brazil part of the rainforest as it owns 60% of the rainforest. I found this particular

Did you know that the rainforest is a fantastic biome? It has three parts that make it special. The forest is also home to more plant life than any other. It’s pretty big. Rainforests have a climate and appearance, producers, and consumers specific to the ecosystem.

Tropical rainforest have many ecosystem services that they provide for the earth daily. Because of the large amounts of plants, tropical rainforest are capable of helping to clean the air of pollutants. Plants take in the bad air and produce air that is not filled with harmful pollutants. Tropical rainforests also increase rainfall. The H2O that is released into the air has to go somewhere eventually. It can not just stay in the cloud that surrounds the forest forever. So, it comes back down as precipitation. The tropical rainforest allows humans to benefit financially. Humans are constantly cutting down rainforest to use the lumber to

Rainforests are known to be critically important for human wellbeing and are often referred to as the lungs of the planet. This is because, rainforests not only absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen that all animals depend on for survival but due to the fact they also help stabilize climate, provide a home to many plants and animals, maintain the water cycle, protect the human population against flood, drought & erosion, and are a source for medicines and foods. Rainforest also happen to support tribal people and are known to be an interesting place to visit. Abiotic factors are referred to as non-living chemical and physical parts of the environment that affect living organisms and the functioning of ecosystems (Dictionary.com, 2017). Some examples of abiotic factors in the Amazon forest include water cycle, temperature and carbon cycle. Additionally, the living components of an ecosystem also referred to as the biotic factors (Dictionary.com, 2017) are elements of the Amazon forest. This includes the organisms living in the ecosystem and the present food chain. Altogether, these are factors and components that are seen in the Amazon forest, despite the deteriorating status of the rainforest due to human activities within the ecosystem. With these activities currently occurring, the amazon rainforest could potentially be eliminated if action is not taken.

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.

The tropical rain forest has a very warm but damp climate. The weather is mostly rainy and the temperature is warm. The temperature goes from 70-85F

The tropical rainforest biome is an ecosystem that covers about seven percent of the Earth's surface. They are found all over the world, but the majority of the tropical rainforest is found in South America in Brazil. This ecosystem experiences high average temperatures and a significant amount of rainfall.

Tropical rainforests produce 40% of Earth's oxygen. Leaves of trees and other plants are the most important chemical factories in the world. They provide the oxygen and food for humans and animals. The rainforest also captures, stores, and recycles rain, which prevents floods, droughts and the erosion of soil. The Costa Rican rainforest can also save the lives of humans.. About one-fourth of all the medicines we use now come from rainforest plants and more than 1,400 varieties of tropical plants are thought to be potential cures for cancer. Rainforests also keep global temperatures within a certain range, which is crucial for the survival of Earth's

Tropical rainforests are extremely humid because of the rainfall. Majority of rainforests receive an approximate 250cm of rain per year. Rainforests typically have rivers and streams and with the intense heat evaporation happens and the water cycle commences. This climate is found closer to the equator. Nearly 50% of all tropical rainforests are found in Latin America while one third is located in Brazil. Other Tropical rainforests are located in Southeast Asia and the Pacific islands with an estimated (25% of worlds rainforests) while west of Africa only has 18%.

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

A rainforest biome was included in Biosphere 2 because rainforests are one of the most dominate biomes in the world. A rainforest biome can home up to 10 million species of animals, plants and insects. There are approximately 3000 edible fruits found in the average rainforest. And most of plants in a natural rainforest don’t experience human interactions allowing the majority of plants in Biosphere 2 to be self sustaining. The natural humid climate found in rainforests is also present within the rainforest enclosure allowing to provide the majority of plants and animals with a great climate. This makes it very easy to maintain the environment. These are all factors and evidence in response to why a rainforest biome was included in Biosphere

Tropical rainforest-Tropical rainforests balance the world’s climate. They help to balance climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide. The tropical rainforest is very wet with 200-1000 cm of rain per year. With this much rain the humidity is rather high - 77%-88%. The temperature is 21-30 degrees celsius. All this makes the tropical rainforest a very lush and beautiful.

Tropical rainforests are one of the most naturally abundant biomes on Earth. Producing almost half of the oxygen within Earth's atmosphere while only covering less than 6% of the surface. (blueplanetbiomes.org) A vast variety of water, soil, and air cater to the millions of different species living under the canopies. Deep tropical soils, large tropical rivers, and little to none air movement shape the climate of this biome. Some of the species covered in this paper are, E. Murinus, A. Vinelandii, A. Platensis, P. Knowlesi, B. Antiacantha, and T. Fuciformis. Each organism plays a vital role in the tropical rainforest ecosystem.
