22. Describe the types of succession that occurs in this biome, if any  Trees are gradually replaced by others  Succession is very high because there are a lot of trees and plants

23. What is the growing season in the rainforest?  The rainforest does not have winter  Because there is no winter the growing season lasts all year

39. OTHER FACTS…

40. Microorganisms  Cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope  Help decompose dead plant and animal matter  Grow quickly in humid rainforests  Feed on leaves, twigs, and other matter that has fallen from the canopy canopy

41. Invertebrates  Invertebrates- animals without backbones  Some must spend life in the water  Rainforests are ideal for them to live  They are the least known variety of life in the rainforest
