TROPICAL RAIN FOREST CLIMATE AND WEATHER

TROPICAL  RAIN  FOREST CLIMATE AND WEATHER

The emergent layer is the topmost portion of the rainforest, where widespread branches can absorb maximum sunlight. The is very thick and dense due to interlocked branches and it therefore forms an umbrella over other growing plants and trees. Plants under these layers receive less sunlight and so are smaller and darker. But they display a wide variety of flowers to attract insects. The forest floor level hardly receives any sunlight. Insects and fungi live there as they feed on decomposed matter on the floor. The soil is very poor but plants develop stilt or prop roots, buttress roots to absorb maximum nutrients from the soil. Lianas, strangler plants, carnivorous plants are characteristic of tropical rainforests.are also worth studying. The dense and wet rainforests make the animals develop special characteristics in order to survive, as the rule 'survival of the fittest' applies here as well.

Tropical rainforest climate is responsible for the growth of green and dense rainforests which in turn help maintain the balance of temperature and rain in other parts of the world. Once these rainforests are gone, we will be deprived of rain and pure air. Tropical rainforest climate facts are thus important from the point of view of human being's safety and survival.
