| | Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests Summary |
 | | The biome includes several types of forests, including lowland tropical rain forests, which receive high rainfall year-round; moist deciduous and semi-evergreen forests, with high overall rainfall marked by strong seasonal variations; montane rain forests found in cooler-climate mountainous areas; and freshwater swamp forests and peat swamp forests. |
 | | 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). |
