Rainforest Sections

Emergent layer canopy layer understory and the forest floor.
Rainforest sections. While there is lots. Estimates vary from 40 to. These layers host several species of tropical animals and tropical plants.
In general it is divided into four layers. The canopy contains over 50 of the rainforest wildlife. Rainforests are forests characterized by high and continuous rainfall with annual rainfall in the case of tropical rainforests between 2 5 and 4 5 metres and definitions varying by region for temperate rainforests.
The sea of leaves blocking out the sun from the lower layers is called the canopy. This includes birds snakes and monkeys. The tropical rainforest is a complete environment from top to bottom.
The canopy structure of the rainforest provides an abundance of places for plants to grow and animals to live. Epiphytes or air plants are also found in this layer. In the top emergent layer trees as tall as 200 feet 60 meters grow far apart and tall.
Lianas vines climb to the canopy to reach sunlight. Learn more about these layers below. The monsoon trough alternatively known as the intertropical convergence zone plays a significant role in creating the climatic conditions necessary for the earth s tropical rainforests.
The sunlight is converted. The emergent layer receives the greatest amount of sunlight. Because rainforests are located in tropical regions they receive a lot of sunlight.
