  1. Tropical Rainforest Biome Research By Sherrica Handy-Richardson http://world-visits.blogspot.com/2012/03/tropical-rainforests.html

  2. Tropical RainforestGeography & Climate • Location: generally found between 30 degrees north and 30 degrees latitudes. • Soil type: Poor because of organisms that live in the soil and because erosion/ water. • Precipitation: 200 • Temperature range : 25 degrees Celsius Climate: Warm temperature ,wet weather

  3. Tropical rainforestBiodiversity • Plant species: epiphyte, bamboo, banana, rubber trees , avocado, orange, peanut, peppers, and pineapples. • Animal species: cougars , snakes, butterflies, frogs, monkey, insects , ants and birds.

  4. Tropical RainforestAdaptations Needed for Survival • Plant: sunlight is major limiting factor canopy receives most light shallow wide roots since soil is so thin and poor in nutrients little sun reaches the floor. • Animal: Camouflage is common animals are special and require special habitat componets to survive.

  5. Tropical RainforestInteractions of Biotic and Abiotic • Biotic: plant species such as bamboo, banana , trees and rubber. A biotic: high biodiversity and biomass both hot and moist ideal for bacteria and other microorganisms they quickly decompose matter on the forest floor allowing nutrients to be recycled of topsoil about 100 cm in layer of rainfall.

  6. What is Biodiversity? • Biodiversity is the different type of species such as Plant species and animal species.

  7. How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem? • Because biodiversity is more than just a specie.
