RAINFORESTS OF THE WORLD There are many definitions. In ecological terms, rainforests have been defined as "multi-storied closed, broad leaved forest vegetation with a continuous tree canopy of variable height and with characteristic diversity of species and life forms". Tropical rainforests in particular possess an astonishing array of flora and fauna. In fact, at least half of the Earth's species are found in rainforests. What is a Rainforest Rainforests have evolved over millions of years. They are so amazing and beautiful. INTERESTING FACTS ON RAINFORESTS An area of a rainforest the size of a football field is being destroyed each second. What Are Rainforests Like? Tropical and temperate rainforests share certain characteristics. For example, most trees flare at the base. Vegetation is dense, tall and very green. Many species exist in both rainforests, although the diversity is greater in the tropical rainforest. What Makes a Rainforest Special? The rainforests are home to half of the Earth's plantand animal species these photos were taken today~ i am no photographer and it was a little difficult because the light wasn't that great! |
