Rainforest

1. Rainforest By: LucreciaBabatz

2. Ecosystem • Rainforest is the ecosystem with more flora and fauna. It is a very misty place and with that it can have more flora. • It can be found in some parts of Mexico, central and south America, in Asia and in Africa. In the areas around the Equator.

3. Flora • Rainforest is divided in 3 parts: • Forest floor.- It is on the ground like swaps, rivers, and little plants. • Understoyer or understory layer.- It is like the logs of the trees and some little trees. • Canopy layer.- It is the last one and it is like the top of the trees that can be from 30-45 meters long.

4. Fauna • On forest floor there are snails, spiders, caterpillars and some more insects like grasshoppers or something similar. • On understoyer or understory there are many little birds like cardinals. There are also mammals like jaguar and leopard, and also reptiles like snakes and lizards. • On canopy layer there are only birds like toucans, parrots and guacamayas.

5. How Does man affect Rainforest • Man affects rainforest by cutting trees and if there aren´t a lot of trees there is not enough oxygen for us and for the animals that live in rainforest. By killing animals too the rainforest can come down and we won´t have more rainforest, maybe the rainforest does not come down but many animals will be extinct. • Man can also benefit rainforest by recycling paper and not polluting.

6. How does nature affect rainforest Nature can affect rainforest by storms that can kill animals. In rainforest there is too many inundations with the rains, it can benefit the flora but not the fauna. There can be infected plants that animals eat and die. • Rainforest ….. after a cyclone. • Climate changes and that can Also affect the rainforest.
