	Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests Summary
		The forest understory is composed of small trees and shrubs growing between the trunks of the major trees, as well as climbing woody vines (lianas) and many epiphytes—mainly orchids, bromeliads, and arboreal ferns—that attach themselves to the trees.
		The layered communities of a tropical rain forest are directly related to the gradual lessening of light, from the brightness of the canopy to the dense shade of the forest floor.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are common in several terrestrial ecozones, including parts of the Afrotropic (equatorial Africa), Indomalaya (parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), the Neotropic (northern South America and Central America), Australasia (eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and northern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

	Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, also known as tropical rain forests, are a tropical and subtropical biome.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are found in a belt around the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with high year-round rainfall.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are common in several terrestrial ecozones, including parts of the Afrotropic (equatorial Africa), Indomalaya (parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), the Neotropic (northern South America and Central America), Australasia (eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and northern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

	Slave Routes - Americas and Carabbean
		Salvador in the state of Bahia became the capital city of Brazil and with the introduction of sugar plantations at the end of the 16th century it grew and continued to grow throughout the 17th century.
		The state of Bahia lost its primary economic significance to the Portuguese Crown and, in the 19th century, Salvador was replaced by Rio de Janeiro as the capital of Brazil.
		Fearful that the whole state of Bahia would follow the example of St Domingue and rise up and revolt, the authorities quickly sentenced four of the rebels to death, sixteen to prison, eight to forced labour, and forty-five to flogging.

	CPD: South America, Site SA20, Espinhaço Range Region, Brazil
		In Bahia, on descending from the serras, the luxuriant campos usually give way to a band of cerrado or campos gerais, soon replaced at lower altitudes by xerophilous deciduous forest known as "caatinga" (CPD Site SA19), which is the dominant vegetation formation of the semi-arid regions of north-eastern Brazil.
		blanchetii is endemic to the restingas of Bahia and Sergipe.
		In Bahia on the Chapada Diamantina, the population was large for the same reasons, with the mines principally from Rio de Contas to Catolés in the west and Mucugê to Lençóis in the east, with the road at that time extending northward to Jacobina.

		Interior lowlands known as the Nicaragua Depression (Limón Basin) extend diagonally southward from the Gulf of Fonseca across the Central American isthmus to the coastal plain of north-eastern Costa Rica.
		For example, high humid forest, oak and deciduous forest, and conifer forest tend to occur in the pluvial, wet, moist and montane forest life zones, whereas low and medium forests and savanna prevail in the dry-forest life zones (Leonard 1987).
		The forests between the mouths of the Grande de Térraba and Grande de Tárcoles rivers in the south-west are remarkable in having a high number of endemics that have not been found in similarly structured counterpart forests elsewhere.

	Conservation Ecology: Distribution and causes of global forest fragmentation
		Because human land uses tend to expand over time, forests that share a high proportion of their borders with anthropogenic uses are at higher risk of further degradation than forests that share a high proportion of their borders with non-forest, natural land cover (e.g., wetland).
		Forests may be fragmented by a number of activities or events, such as road construction, logging, conversion to agriculture, or wildfire, but ultimately, the fragmenting cause is either anthropogenic or natural in origin.
		At least half the biome area was “connected” forest in 18 of the 36 combinations of biome and continent (Table 4), and 11 of the 18 cases were in North and South America.

		Wildlife habitat: Dry limestone forest is home to a multitude of indigenous and endemic wildlife, including several species of birds (all protected by law), endangered Jamaican boas/yellow snakes (also a protected species), and countless species of invertebrates and plants, including many endemic and indigenous coastal species.
		What the EIA calls ‘degraded dry limestone forest’ has been degraded by the activities of the previous developers, who caused the road to be moved cutting right through the fairly undisturbed forest at the time.
		We are worried that in the case of at least two other Bahia Principe resorts built and operated by this developer, local residents in other parts of the world reported serious environmental problems and breaches of permits and regulations, despite the developer’s claims of environmental responsibility.

	Kew: PNE Projects and Programmes
		Projects concentrated on semi-arid areas, in particular three vegetation types: caatinga (deciduous thorn forest), brejos (relict high altitude moist forests, which are the lifeline of the rural economy in times of drought) and campo rupestre (montane rocky grasslands of especially high biodiversity).
		Bahia, the largest of the nine north-eastern states, has one of the richest range of ecosystems anywhere in Brazil, including Mata Atlântica, restinga, cerrado, caatinga and various type of dry forest, as well as the vegetation of the Chapada Diamantina.
		The project initially aims to extend the collecting of material to cover the whole state of Bahia, concentrating on areas of known high biodiversity which are poorly collected, and to prepare an account of all known collections from Bahia and herbaria of participating institutions, leading to a species check-list for the State.

		The forests that have survived are those in more remote areas, where human pressure has been in balance with their capacity to regenerate.
