	Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, also known as tropical wet forests and tropical rainforests, are a tropical and subtropical forest 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, northern and eastern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, further avowed as tropical wet forests and tropical rainforests, are a tropical and subtropical forest biome.
		The biome has diverse types of forests, together with lowland gloppy rain forests, which cop mammoth rainfall year-round; moist deciduous and semi-evergreen forests, with mammoth containing rainfall marked by muscular seasonal variations; montane rain forests erect in cooler-climate mountainous areas; and freshwater swamp forests and peat swamp forests.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are erect in a belt perfect brought about with the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with mammoth year-round rainfall.

	Informat.io on Tropical And Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests
		Tropical rain forests are called the "jewel of the earth", the "Earth's lungs", and the "world's largest pharmacy" because of the large amount of natural medicines discovered there.
		Trees are often well connected in the canopy layer especially by the growth of woody climbers or lianas, plants with epiphytic adaptations, allowing them to grow on top of existing trees in the competition for sunlight.
		For example, rain forests are responsible for containing the "basic ingredients of birth control hormones, stimulants, and tranquilizing drugs" (Banks 36).

	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.

	The Forest
		The forest is characterized by a relatively high percentage of trees with: buttresses (34%); simple (58.5%), entire (94.1%), mesophyll (88.0%), mostly evergreen leaves; and latex, resin, or distinctive sap (42.7%).
		Another reason for fewer buttresses in the Bahian forest may be the smaller tree size in comparison to the French Guianan forest (519.1 vs. 856.2 cm² average basal area).
		In the forest the megaphyll size class is absent and the macrophylls are poorly represented, with only 8.9% of the species and 6.9% of the individuals in the size class (Table II-I).

		Tropical lowland or "terra-firme" forests: dense mesophytic to mostly semi-open to open dry forests, savanna-forest; "várzea" and "igapó" inundation forests of white water and fl or clear waters; various types of savanna ("campo"): terra-firme savanna, várzea savanna, "campina" (on hard substrate).
		Also referred to as lowland tropical moist forests (when compared with premontane and montane forests), they are the most common forest type in Amazonia.
		During dry glacial periods of the Quaternary, the Transverse Dry Belt's deciduous forests and savannas may have served as corridors for exchange between the Llanos of Colombia and Venezuela and the savannas of Brazil's Central Plateau (Clapperton 1993; Daly and Prance 1989; Hoogmoed 1979).
