The Equatorial Rainforest

Course Content Tropical Rain Forest Location Climate Vegetation

Location of Tropical Rainforest Between 10oN and 10oS Congo Basin Amazon Basin South-east Asia

Climate of Rainfores High insolation Monthly temperature between 26oC and 27oC Annual rainfall usually more than 2000mm Convection Rain is common Hot and wet throughout the year

Temperature Chart

Reason of high temperature Sun Rays Longer Distance Shorter Distance Cooler Warmer

Rainfall Chart

Formation of Convection Rain Cumulonimbus Cloud Solar Radiation Evaporation

Photo of Convection Rain

General Characteristics of the vegetation Evergreen Dense and luxuriant Many species Four layers

Vegetation Structure Emergents Layer Canopy Layer Middle Layer Shrub Layer and Understorey

Vegetation Layers Emergent layer Canopy layer Middle layer very tall tree few in number Canopy layer a continuous cover Middle layer younger trees Shrub layer and undergrowth little growth because of shade

Vegetation Morphology Broad crown Climbers Drip-tip leaves Buttress roots Epiphytes Tall, straight trunk

Buttress root

Drip-tip leaves

Climber

Ephiphyte

Tall trunk and broad crown
