The mechanism that allows rain forests and marshes to have high NPP differs. For tropical rain forests, the long growing season allows plants to photosynthesize and grow throughout the year, and their high leaf area allows for high rates of gross carbon uptake. For marshes, they have plenty of nutrients for growth, but lower leaf areas, lower annual gross carbon uptake and shorter growing seasons. Marshes, thus, take up less carbon from the atmosphere, but use this carbon much more efficiently for growing plant tissues than tropical rain forests (see Rocha and Goulden 2009 Why is marsh NPP so high? Agricultural and Forest Met.)
The two types of tropical forests are tropical rainforests and tropical dry forests. Tropical rainforests are characterized by high rainfall and year-round warm temperatures, while tropical dry forests experience a pronounced dry season with less rainfall than rainforests.
A tropical rainforest is a type of forest with warm temperatures, wet weather, and lush plant growth. These forests are found near the equator where there is high humidity and abundant rainfall throughout the year, supporting a diverse array of plant and animal species.
The main difference between a tropical rainforest and a coastal forest is their location and environmental conditions. Tropical rainforests are typically found near the equator and receive high levels of rainfall year-round, while coastal forests are located along coastlines and may experience more variable precipitation patterns influenced by oceanic conditions. Additionally, coastal forests may have adaptations to salt spray and coastal erosion that are not present in tropical rainforests.
The biome that receives up to 400 cm of rain per year is the tropical rainforest. This biome is characterized by its high levels of precipitation, warmth, and abundant biodiversity.
One unique feature of tropical rainforests is their incredible biodiversity. They are home to a wide variety of plant and animal species, many of which are not found anywhere else in the world. This high level of biodiversity is due to the stable climate and abundant resources present in these ecosystems.
The Tropical Rain Forest has more rain than a tropical forest.
Tropical rain forests are so named because of the high level of rain in these forests.
because of the high level of rainfall in that particular area
a rain forest
The tropical rain forest.
Forest and jungle ecosystems, the largest ecosytem is the Amazon Rain Forest in South America
In a tropical rain forest or anywhere tropical that is rains =)
yes
4 litres high (i think)
tropical rain forest
San Jose has a tropical rain forest biome. Therefore, also the temperature and precipitation is very high.
The tropical rain forest is found in the tropical regions.
