Biomes: Tropical Rainforest (1989)

The tropical rainforest is the most biodiverse biome on Earth, housing an astonishing variety of species due to its unique climate, characterized by abundant rainfall and sunlight. Despite its reduction to equatorial regions, rainforests still offer a rich ecosystem with four distinct layers: the emergent layer, the canopy, the understory, and the forest floor. Each layer supports various habitats and life forms, from birds and mammals to insects and decomposers. The rainforest’s intricate ecological relationships, such as those between ants and fungi, highlight its role in nutrient recycling. However, deforestation threatens this vital biome, which serves as an irreplaceable genetic reservoir.
