TROPICAL RAINFOREST: Case of Mabira forest.

Tropical rainforests have several distinct characteristics:
1. Hot temperatures ranging from 20-30°C throughout the year.
2. Heavy rainfall with some areas receiving over 1,000 mm annually.
3. High humidity levels often above 80%.
4. Closed canopy with dense foliage, making it difficult to see the sky.
5. Extremely high levels of plant and animal species diversity.
6. Vertical layering of vegetation, with emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor layers.
7. Dominance of large, broadleaf tree species.
8. Abundance of vines, orchids, and other epiphytes.
9. Rapid plant growth and decomposition due to favorable climate conditions.
10. Nutrient-poor soils, with nutrients being stored in vegetation.
11. Intricate relationships between plants, animals, and microorganisms.

Many tropical rainforests are home to indigenous communities, with unique cultures and traditions.
