Tropical Rainforest Biome
What is a Tropical Rainforest Biome?
A Tropical Rainforest Biome is an area that gathers a lot of rain ( up to 400 inches a year) and has many layers of trees.
What happens because of "Slash and Burn"
To make room for farms, loggers cut down trees and burn the remains to prevent new trees from growing. This method results in a wide loss of vegetation in the area.
What are Tropical Rainforest Biomes like?
Tropical Rainforests are usually very warm and humid; with temperatures between 68 and 93 degrees Fahrenheit, and between 77 and 88% humidity. 40% of the world's oxygen comes from Tropical Rainforest Biomes.
What is Laterite?
Laterite is a iron and aluminum rich soil, that is commonly formed in the Tropical Rainforest Biome, or other hot/humid areas.
What is so special about the soil?
The soil is special because it is deeper than other soils, gathers more water than other soils, and is very healthy because of the plant materials on the ground floor.
