It rains so much in the rainforest
there is plenty of wildlife in the rainforest because the climate it hot and wet?
None. It is much too warm in a tropical rainforest to snow.
The liitle amount of sunlight gets to the understorey of a tropical rainforest and the forest floor gets the slightest amount of light
about half
the canopy recieves very little sunlight
because a temperate forest doesn't have as much life in it or as much rain as a rain forest and it sheds it's leafs in the fall
The primary characteristic of a rainforest, is that it has a wide variety of plant life. There are temperate rainforests as well, but they follow the above description.So to our tropical rainforest is that it is in the tropics, and will be much warmer, and may or may not have lots of rain.Tropical rainforests will commonly have several layers of canopy - a climax canopy of the tall trees, a forest floor vegetation of ferns and shrubs and mosses, and an intermediate canopy of medium tall shrubs, trees, and vines.The humidity in a tropical rainforest will be high, and much of the rainfall is being continuously evaporated.One serious problem we have, is that when a tropical rainforest is cleared, the land reverts to a much drier plainland with much less forest. This is observed in the Amazon. Much of the humidity of the rainforest interior is self-generated, and not from direct rainfall.
In most tropical rainforests, there are just two seasons, the Wet season and the Dry season .
A tropical rainforest is typically much smaller relative to the amount of area that a grassy plain or temperate forest would occupy. One notable exception is the massive Amazon, but it has been significantly deforested.
The tropical rainforest is always wet and temerate is not and its much cooler
9 1/2 feet fall every year!
