	Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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).

		The sage-hen is abundant on the eastern flank of the Sierra.
		Variousother things indicate a separation of the islands from the mainland in quaternary times; since which, owing to the later southward movement on the continent of northern forms in glacial times,there has been,a struggle for existence on the mainland from whichtlie islands have largely escaped.
		The variety of forest trees is not great, but some of the California trees are unique, and the forests of the state are, with those of Oregon and Washington, perhaps the most magnificent of the world.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Banda Sea Islands moist deciduous forests (AA0102)
		The forests in this ecoregion are still largely intact, but although many of these islands are tiny and uninhabitable, the bird populations are seriously threatened by accidentally released rats and cats and by the removal of their eggs for sale by fishers traveling through this area.
		The Banda Islands are part of the inner arc, whereas the rest of the ecoregion is part of the outer arc.
		We created the Banda Sea Islands Moist Deciduous Forests [AA0102] by combining the islands in the Kai and Tanimbar archipelagos, which were distinguished as a biogeographic unit by Monk et al.

		The volcanic nature of these oceanic islands is evidently an extension of that law, and the effect of those same causes, whether chemical or mechanical, from which it results that a vast majority of the volcanoes now in action stand either near sea-coasts or as islands in the midst of the sea.
		The sea was so highly luminous, that the tracks of the penguins were marked by a fiery wake, and the darkness of the sky was momentarily illuminated by the most vivid lightning.
		In this case, both the direction of the heavy gales of wind and of the currents of the sea are favourable to the transport of seeds from Tierra del Fuego, as is shown by the canoes and trunks of trees drifted from that country, and frequently thrown on the shores of the Western Falkland.

		Temperate Rain Forests: The moist cold from the west rises and condenses as it strikes the steep hillsides.
		The hills were thickly forested, by virtue of the moist westerlies that blow year around, but over the centuries the hillsides have been denuded by farmers who now grow corn, grapes and vegetables and raise dairy cattle.
		Omaika is thus covered with deciduous forest, punctuated in the higher regions with groves of pine and fir.

		When the island was discovered, the immediate neighbourhood of Porto Praya was clothed with trees,[1] the reckless destruction of which has caused here, as at St. Helena, and at some of the Canary islands, almost entire sterility.
		On a point not far from the city, where a rivulet entered the sea, I observed a fact connected with a subject discussed by Humboldt.[1] At the cataracts of the great rivers Orinoco, Nile, and Congo, the syenitic rocks are coated by a fl substance, appearing as if they had been polished with plumbago.
		In the sea around Tierra del Fuego, and at no great distance from the land, I have seen narrow lines of water of a bright red colour, from the number of crustacea, which somewhat resemble in form large prawns.

		I have often observed that small children, when brought on to low, moist ground from a high level, give loose to a sudden spontaneous gladness, running, shouting, and rolling over the grass just like dogs, and I have no doubt that the fresh smell of the earth is the cause of their joyous excitement.
		The resemblance to water is increased when there are groves and buildings on the horizon, which look like dark blue islands or banks in the distance, while the cattle and horses feeding not far from the spectator appear to be wading knee or belly deep in the brilliant water.
		It was for me a tremendously long walk, as we had to take many a turn to avoid the patches of cardoon and giant thistles, and by and by we came to low ground where the grass was almost waist-high and full of flowers.

		The island would generally be considered as very uninteresting, but to any one accustomed only to an English landscape, the novel aspect of an utterly sterile land possesses a grandeur which more vegetation might spoil.
		On a small plain which we crossed, a few stunted acacias were growing; their tops had been bent by the steady trade-wind, in a singular manner--some of them even at right angles to their trunks.
		Their numbers must be infinite: the ship passed through several bands of them, one of which was about ten yards wide, and, judging from the mud-like colour of the water, at least two and a half miles long.

		The island is difficult to work as there are steep slopes, many palms with heavy fruit, and many bamboos including prickly ones and epiphytes galore.
		Stingrays, crocodiles, crabs, sea birds, shell fish and oysters also form part of their diet, and all have to be cut up according to rigid rules.
