It takes at least 10 minutes to reach the forest floor in a rain forest because the canopy is like a giant umbrella.

∙ 9y agoSome rainforests, such as the Amazon, grow on very poor soil. This, coupled with the low-light conditions under the forest canopy, means that the trees grow very slowly. A recent study found that about half the trees with a trunk diameter greater than 10 centimetres (4 inches) were over 300 years old and still growing.
This also means, of course, that rainforests do not recover quickly from logging!
