Tropical Rainforest Adaptations Needed for Survival Plants- Epiphyte; grows on tree branches to take advantage of sunlight Animals- New World Monkey; has prehensile tails that curl around branches to hold on with malmaineia/files/species/puffin/Puffin%20webpages /ecology/Frog.gif
Tropical Rainforest Biodiversity Plant Species- Epiphyte, mosses, ferns, coniferous trees (10-20 species), broad leaf trees Animal Species- mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies, mosquitoes, stick insects, ants, chipmunks, and monkeys 3,085 plant and animal species ZGletjpyvO4lnCXKA- _wL5HrJpA82pMJ7s: ng/t_materials/6_gen_publications/images/biodiversity7aeng.j pg
Tropical Rainforest Interactions of Biotic and Abiotic Biotic- plants feed animals, carnivores hunt for their food Abiotic- heavy rain helps trees grow St6e48b-yO1DBQHUueHL6RS7Uo- ewQU3v2A3Xs1e0B4qw: nel/krubal/rainforest/Edit560s6/www/images/anima ls/animals.gif
What is Biodiversity? Biodiversity is the number of different species of plants and animals in an environment. It is the variety of life. You can study it on many levels. Biodiversity can be studied practically anywhere. From the tundra and desert, to your neighborhood park. content/uploads/2012/10/MonteverdeRainfor estCostaRica-500x375.jpg
How does biodiversity contribute to the sustainability of an ecosystem? If there is ever wildfires or floods, and a species were to go extinct, a forest with 20 other reptiles is likely to adapt better than another forest with only one species. &hl=en&safe=active&sa=X&tbo=d&biw=1280&bih=603&tbm=isch&tb nid=dVK7OywGhtxlsM:&imgrefurl= eb/WebQuest.htm&docid=xeOdeoZlGKPHXM&imgurl= uer.com/rainforestweb/biodiversity.jpg&w=500&h=175&ei=9cL5UJvW L8Pi2gX_0YD4BQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=166&vpy=344&dur=234&ho vh=133&hovw=380&tx=317&ty=89&sig= &p age=1&tbnh=88&tbnw=250&start=0&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:12,s:0,i: 119&surl=1
