Tropical Rainforest Ecosystem

Tropical rainforest ecosystems are found in tropical places.

These places include countries that are around the equator of the earth. Rainforests have a great diversity of plant and animal life, unlike any other type of ecosystem.

As its name indicates, rainforest ecosystems receive a lot of rain each year. This amount of rain allows the plant life to grow and be dense. Trees in this ecosystem grow very tall, as they compete for sunlight. Animals make their home in these trees and under the trees leaves.
