Tropical rainforests are generally warm and moist, with a range of exotic species. This biome contains thick vegetation throughout the four different layers; emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor. On this website, you will gain an understanding of the tropical rainforests' spatial distribution, climate, human alterations, future sustainability, and the flora and fauna that live within this biome!
