Tropical Rainforest Research Paper

This is my biome project I picked the Rainforest because I like the animals in the forest like lizards, birds, sloths and jaguars.Also I like the plants in the Rainforest because they are cool and colorful and here are some flowers that are in the Rainforests like the lilies, heliconia and the bromeliads.

Smaller rainforests are located in Central America, Madagascar, Australia and nearby islands, India, and other locations in the tropics.This region was once entirely covered with rainforest, but large areas have been cleared for cattle ranching and for sugar cane plantations. Like other major rainforests, the jungles and mangrove swamps of Central America contain many plants and animals found nowhere else. Central America is famous for its large number of tropical birds, including many kinds of parrots.

The tropical rainforest is a forest type that captures huge attention from the public. It is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating interactions between climate, vegetation and organisms, and soil that exists in the world today. The rainforests which previously occupied up to 24 million square kilometres today occupy only some 10

Many animals are essential in the reproductive processes of forest plants. Bats are known to be pollinators of more than 300 plant species (many of which are economically important as timber, fuel, fiber, medicine, or dyes). In Southeast Asia, bats pollinate popular forest fruits such as durian, banana and mango (Payne, 1995). Nectar-feeding birds and insects such as beetles, bees, and wasps are even more important than bats in tropical
