Most areas of the forest floor receive so little light that few bushes or herbs can grow there. Less than 1 % of the light that strikes the top of the forest penetrates to the forest floor. The top soil is very thin and of poor quality. A lot of litter falls to the ground where it is quickly broken down by decomposers like termites, earthworms and fungi. The heat and humidity further help to break down the litter. This organic matter is then just as quickly absorbed by the trees' shallow roots.Warm and wet describes the tropical rain forest climate.The average annual temperature is above 20° C; there is never a frost.Rainfall varies widely from a low of about 250cm of rain per year to about 450 cm/year.That means a range from about 8 to 14 feet of rain per year.

What is the main difference between wet tropical climates and tropical wet and dry climates?
The main difference between wet tropical climates and tropical wet and dry climates lies in their rainfall patterns. Wet tropical climates, also known as tropical rainforest climates, receive high and consistent rainfall throughout the year, with minimal seasonal variation. In contrast, tropical wet and dry climates experience distinct wet and dry seasons, with significant rainfall during the wet season and a marked reduction in precipitation during the dry season. This results in different vegetation and ecosystems in each climate type.
