Question

What are the main characteristics of a rain forest?

Answer 1

The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50 to 260 inches (125 to 660 cm.) of rain falls yearly.

Temperature is on average 20-25° C and varies little throughout the year: the average temperatures of the three warmest and three coldest months do not differ by more than 5 degrees.

Precipitation is evenly distributed throughout the year, with annual rainfall exceeding 2000 mm.

Soil is nutrient-poor and acidic. Decomposition is rapid and soils are subject to heavy leaching.

Canopy in tropical forests is multilayered and continuous, allowing little light penetration.

Flora is highly diverse: one square kilometer may contain as many as 100 different tree species. Trees are 25-35 m tall, with buttressed trunks and shallow roots, mostly evergreen, with large dark green leaves. Plants such as orchids, bromeliads, vines (lianas), ferns, mosses, and palms are present in tropical forests.

Fauna include numerous birds, bats, small mammals, and insects.
