	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 forest regions with lower rainfall are home to Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests and Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests.
		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 extent and distribution of forests during the cold periods were very different from today, not least because much of the northern hemisphere was covered in thick ice, but also because the climate in much of the tropics was apparently drier.
		Forests west of the Appalachians in North America suffered the most severe impacts in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but are still under pressure from demand for timber and pulp.
		Forests of warmer temperate and subtropical areas have a higher diversity of species, many of which are localised and therefore in general more vulnerable to extinction.

		Three tropical dry broadleaf forest ecoregions, the East Deccan dry evergreen forests the Sri Lanka dry-zone dry evergreen forests, and the Southeastern Indochina dry evergreen forests, are characterized by evergreen trees.
		Dry forests tend to exist north and south of the equatorial rainforest belt, south of the subtropical deserts, generally in two bands, one between 10° and 20°N latitude and the other between 10° and 20°S latitude.
		Dry forests of Madagascar and New Caledonia are also highly distinctive (pronounced endemism and a large number of relictual taxa) for a wide range of taxa and at higher taxonomic levels.

	Banana Plantations in Central America
		Although there are regulations against the deforestation of primary forest land, the land buffering national parks, and the vegetation along river banks, these laws have repeatedly been violated (Mora, 1998).
		It is important that further destruction of lowland tropical forests is prevented to protect the numerous species of plants and animals which inhabit them.
		The removal of all vegetation exposes the soil to the intense and frequent rainstorms characteristic of the tropical lowlands.

	Equal Earth - Paintings - Neotropic
		This moist forest ecoregion is mostly intact, especially in the interior.
		Forests of this ecoregion are often cleared for banana plantations, road building, or urban development.
		Goats were introduced in the 16th century by the Spanish, and their descendants still roam and graze throughout the region today, competing with native species for food and causing damage to the landscape.

	Iguana Specialist Group (formerly the West Indian Iguana Specialist Group)
		Rhinoceros iguanas are most abundant in, although not restricted to, dry forests characterized by xeric, rocky habitats of eroded limestone in coastal terraces and lowlands of the mainland and several offshore islands and small cays.
		The forest canopy is 5-6m, and is dominated by cacti.
		Tall semihumid broadleaved limestone forest is characterized by a mosaic of forest patches with varying canopy heights, depending on soil conditions and depth of the water table.

		Moist, limestone forests are its preferred habitat, but it is also found in rock crevices, caves and trees.
		The mating season for the Jamaican Boa is from February to early April and the female bears live young from October to December.
		The Jamaican Boa is included in Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

		The Hispaniolan moist forests ecoregion covers approximately 50% of the island, especially the northern and eastern portions, predominantly in the lowlands but extending up to 2100 meters elevation.
		The Hispaniolan dry forests ecoregion occupies approximately 20% of the island, lying in the rain shadow of the mountains in the southern and western portion of the island and in the Cibao valley in the center-north of the island.
		The Enriquillo wetlands are a flooded grasslands and savannas ecoregion that surround a chain of lakes and lagoons that includes Lake Enriquillo, Rincón Lagoon, and Lake Caballero in the Dominican Republic and Saumatre Lagoon and Trou Cayman in Haiti.

		Located on the eastern end of the island, it protects one third of the approximately 30 percent of Jamaica that is still under natural forest cover, which is also the island’s largest remaining tract of intact, closed-canopy, broadleaf forest.
		Conservation of the forest resources will assure the continued supply and quantity of water necessary to maintain the health and livelihoods of those who depend on this resource.
		Forest restoration was also a priority in the buffer zones of the park.

		I was told that US and Jamaican military personnel and machinery would "come around a lot," by a woman whose roadside vending shed sold cold Guinness beer and "iced jelly," which is the delicious soft fruit scraped from inside a fresh coconut.
		Jamaican helicopters and boats picked up the pursuit, forcing the terrified, alleged smugglers to run their blue boat onto the beach at Yallahs, which is approximately 35 miles from Kingston.
		The men were charged with immigration violations — for not telling Jamaican authorities that they were being chased and forced to ground their boat on a Jamaican beach — and another glorious victory was declared in the war on drugs.

		Indeed, the role of periodic disturbance in maintaining high diversity in, for example, tropical moist forests and coral reefs, is an area of considerable debate within ecology.
		Sub-sequent analyses were based mainly on the woody plants data, because of the large number of biases in-volved in faunal survey, and the likelihood that faunal diversity was greatly underestimated due to the speed at which the survey had to be conducted.
		Forests are currently the subject of numerous indicator efforts at various scales.
