Rainforests

The bottom layer of the rainforest is called the forest floor. It is dark, damp, and covered with fallen leaves, twigs, and dead plant material. Many insects, fungi, and small animals live in this layer.

Well, 50 years ago 14% of the earth was covered in rainforests - all around the equator. But 100 years ago it was not destroyed at all - it probably just completely covered the whole equator!

Tropical rainforests often have a diverse range of rock types due to their varied geology. Common rock types found in tropical rainforests include granite, basalt, sandstone, and limestone. These rocks contribute to the nutrient composition of the soils in these ecosystems.

Yes, stranger vines can kill trees. They girdle bushes, herbs, grasses, shrubs and trees from bottom to top. The girdling or strangling activity by runners, suckers or tendrils massively generated by prolific seeding kills non-woody and woody plants by monopolizing all light and moisture inputs from air, land and water bodies.

One example of a widely cultivated American plant found in warm or tropical regions is the pineapple (Ananas comosus). This fruit is native to South America but is now grown in various tropical regions around the world for its sweet and tangy flavor. Additionally, bananas and avocados are also popular American plants cultivated in warm or tropical regions.

In Borneo's tropical rainforest climate, you would expect to find a diverse range of vegetation, such as dense rainforest trees, epiphytes like orchids and ferns, and various species of palm trees. The region would also likely be home to a variety of plants, including different types of vines, mosses, and fungi.

Rainforests are home to a wide variety of flora, including towering trees, colorful flowers, exotic fruits, and medicinal plants. The flora in rainforests has adapted to the high humidity and abundant rainfall, resulting in a diverse and lush ecosystem. Some notable plants include orchids, bromeliads, giant trees like mahogany and kapok, and diverse species of ferns and mosses.

The Maya civilization primarily lived in Mesoamerica, which includes modern-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Honduras, and El Salvador. While parts of this region have rainforest habitats, not all Mayan settlements were located in rainforests. Many Mayan cities were built in varied environments such as tropical lowlands, highlands, and coastal areas.

The Amazon rainforest is surrounded by areas that have been cleared for agriculture, including farmland. Deforestation for agriculture, such as cattle ranching and soybean production, poses a significant threat to the Amazon rainforest's ecosystem and biodiversity.

Temperate rainforests are typically cool to mild in temperature, with average temperatures ranging from 50-70°F (10-21°C). They receive high amounts of rainfall throughout the year, leading to lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems.

Examples of mutualism include the relationship between bees and flowers, where bees get nectar and pollinate flowers, and the relationship between certain types of fungi and plant roots, where the fungi provide nutrients to the plant in exchange for sugars. Another example is the relationship between cleaner fish and larger fish, where the cleaner fish remove parasites from the larger fish in exchange for food.

It's impossible to know. This tree grows all over the Amazon and the Central American jungles, and also in Africa. Overall, it's distributed in an area equivalent to Western Europe. There are probably many undiscored giant kapoks in remote parts of those rainforests. Usually they reach between 40 and 70 meters (130 to 230 feet), depending on the area.

An equilateral rainforest is not a specific term in ecology or biology. However, an equilateral triangle is a geometric shape with three equal sides and three equal angles. Rainforests are lush forests characterized by high levels of rainfall and biodiversity.

rain forest are facing lots of things such as trees getting cut down and animals that live their are becoming endangered animal because the food they are eating we eat so people are taking the food away and their homes made of trees

I would bring a torch, a tent, a sleeping bag, a camera, a little journal, a phone, a lot of food and drinks, specifically water and drinks with electrolytes as the rainforest is extremely humid.

Tropical rainforests are located near the equator and have high temperatures and high rainfall year-round. Temperate rainforests are found in cooler regions, with moderate temperatures and rainfall that varies by season. The plant and animal species in each type of rainforest are adapted to their specific climate conditions.

Yes, raccoons can be found in rainforests. They are adaptable animals that can thrive in various environments, including tropical rainforests where they feed on a variety of fruits, insects, and small animals.

Agarwood (or just Agar) is the resinous heartwood from Aquilaria trees, which are large evergreens native to southeast Asia. Formation of agarwood occurs in the trunk and roots of trees that have been infected by a parasitc ascomycetous mold, Phaeoacremonium parasitica, a dematiaceous (dark-walled) fungus. As a response, the tree produces a resin high in volatile organic compounds that aids in suppressing or retarding the fungal growth. While the unaffected wood of the tree is relatively light in colour, the resin dramatically increases the mass and density of the affected wood, changing its colour from a pale beige to dark brown or black. In natural forest only about 7% of the trees are infected by the fungus.

On average, about 40,000 hectares of forests are harvested annually in New Zealand, resulting in approximately 30 million cubic meters of timber being harvested. The exact number of trees cut down can vary depending on the size and species of trees.

Rainforests are being destroyed primarily due to activities such as logging, agriculture (particularly soy production and palm oil plantations), mining, and urban expansion. These activities result in deforestation which has a significant impact on biodiversity, contributes to climate change, and threatens the livelihoods of indigenous communities.

Non-living things in a rainforest include rocks, soil, water, sunlight, and air. These elements are important components of the rainforest ecosystem and provide the necessary environment for the living organisms within the ecosystem to thrive.

they bring tourists, contain herbs and valuable plants, and have lots of food (both meats and plants)

Tofino is considered to be in a temperate rainforest zone. This is different from a tropical rainforest because of different species of plants and animals and differing geographical and climatical conditions. Temperate rainforests are classified as rainforests because they receive high amounts of rainfall each year and are comprised of a tall canopy of trees that covers 70% of the sky.
