rainforest

Although rainforests make up only two percent of the earth's surface, over half the world's wild plant, animal and insect species live there. - Yağmur ormanlarının, dünya yüzeyinin sadece yüzde ikisini kaplamasına rağmen; vahşi bitki, hayvan ve bitki türlerinin yarısından fazlası orada yaşar.

The tropical rainforests, located in a narrow region near the equator, are disappearing so fast that by the year 2000 eighty percent of them may be gone. - Ekvatora yakın dar bir bölgede bulunan,tropik yağmur ormanları o kadar hızlı yok oluyorlar ki 2000 yılına kadar onların yüzde sekseni gitmiş olabilir.

a forest in a climate with high annual rainfall and no dry season
a forest with heavy annual rainfall
{i} thick jungle area located where there is a heavy amount of rainfall
the dense tropical forest that grows in the the hot, tropical regions of the world -- where there is always heavy rainfall
is an evergreen woodland of the tropics distinguished by a continuous leaf canopy and an average rainfall of about 100 inches per year Rainforests play an important role in the global environment for several reasons They are the most biologically diverse biome on the planet, encompassing just 6-7% of Earth's land, but thought to house nearly half of its species Rainforests also take up carbon dioxide, helping to balance anthropogenic emissions When rainforests are cut or burned, the opposite occurs: they release stored carbon dioxide, adding to the greenhouse effect
a lot of trees growing together, with lots of rain and rich soil
Generally, a forest that grows in a region of heavy annual precipitation There are both tropical and temperate rainforests
rain·for·est rainforests in AM, also use rain forest A rainforest is a thick forest of tall trees which is found in tropical areas where there is a lot of rain. Lush forest, generally composed of tall, broad-leaved trees and usually found in wet tropical regions around the Equator. Despite increased awareness of the rainforests' importance during the late 20th century, they continue to be cleared. Rainforests grow mainly in South and Central America, West and Central Africa, Indonesia, parts of Southeast Asia, and tropical Australia, where the climate is relatively humid with no marked seasonal variation. Depending on the amount of annual rainfall, the trees may be evergreen or mainly deciduous. The former require more water. Temperatures are high, usually about 86 °F (30 °C) during the day and 68 °F (20 °C) at night. Soil conditions vary with location and climate, though most rainforest soils tend to be permanently moist and not very fertile, because the hot, humid weather causes organic matter to decompose rapidly and to be absorbed quickly by tree roots and fungi. Rainforests have several layers. The highest continuous layer, called the canopy, extends across the treetops at a height of 100-165 ft (30-50 m). Most animals live among the leaves and branches. Below the canopy is a thick understory filled with small trees, lianas, and epiphytes. The space directly above the ground can be occupied by tree branches, twigs, and foliage, but, contrary to popular belief, the rainforest floor is not impassable. Rather, it is bare except for a thin layer of humus and fallen leaves. Animals inhabiting this layer (e.g., gorillas, elephants, jaguars, and bears) are adapted to walking or climbing for only short distances. Burrowing animals, such as armadillos and caecilians, are found in the soil, as are microorganisms that help decompose and recycle the organic litter accumulated by other plants and animals from all layers. The climate of the ground layer is unusually stable because the upper stories of tree canopies and the lower branches filter out sunlight, retain heat, and reduce wind speeds, keeping the temperature fairly even
a large, dense forest in a hot, humid region (tropical or subtropical) Rainforests have an abundance of diverse plant and animal life, much of which is still uncatalogued by the scientific community
A forest characterized by abundant flowing water; acid soils; layers of growth that grade into one another; abundant epiphytes and mosses; great amount of course woody debris and trees that include the largest and longest-lived of their kind
