Yes, moist warm forests that are typically found near the equator are known as tropical rainforests. These ecosystems are characterized by high levels of rainfall, humidity, and biodiversity, with a dense canopy of trees and a rich understory of plants and animals. They play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate and are vital for carbon storage and oxygen production.

Cloud forests are very moist. As a result of the boggy soil and wet climate, there are lots of fungus, ferns and orchids. It gets its name from the low clouds that surround the canopy layer of the forest.

Cloud forests usually grow on mountainous land, are either tropical or subtropical.
