The Tropical Rain Forest
Summary:
Tropical rain forests occur in regions near the equator. The climate is always warm (between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius) with plenty of rainfall (at least 190 centimeters per year). The rain forest is probably the richest biome, both in diversity and in total biomass. The tropical rain forest has a complex structure, with many levels of life. More than half of all terrestrial species live in this biome. While diversity is high, dominance by a particular species is low.
