	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, northern and eastern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Napo moist forests (NT0142)
		It is bounded on the west by the foothills of the Andes Mountains, on the south by the Marañon River in Peru, on the north by the Napo in Peru and the Caguán in Colombia.
		The large triangle between the Caguán and Upper Putumayo Rivers in Colombia and the province of Napo in Ecuador at the northern extent of the ecoregion are areas of notable deforestation, resulting from forest conversion to cattle pasture and coca (Erythroxylum coca) plantations.
		The linework for the aformentioned deliniations was derived from pleistocene forest refugia proposed by Prance (1973) and on regions of butterfly endemism (Brown 1987).

		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, also known as tropical rain forests or tropical wet forests, are a tropical and subtropical biome.
		Tropical and subtropical regions with lower rainfall or distinct wet and dry seasons are home to Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests and Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests.
		For example, rain forests are responsible for containing the "basic ingredients of birth control hormones, stimulants, and tranquilizing drugs" (Banks 36).

	Rainforest Biogeography
		Moist tropical environments were not present in the Australasian region at the time that it split off from the other continents, but arose afterwards during the Tertiary as it moved north towards the equator.
		Moist Atlantic air travelling westwards is thought to supply most of the region's rainfall, but the wettest climates are found on the opposite side of the continent close to the Andes, where the air is forced to rise and shed its heavy burden of water vapour.
		These island forests are generally less species-rich than those of the South American mainland, perhaps partly because of their drier climates at present and their history of greater aridity during ice ages, and also due to their relative isolation from larger sources of evolutionary novelty on the mainland.

	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.

		In turn, the Rain Forest, which constitutes a mirror image of the socio-economic condition of the indigenous communities, is suffering the consequences of uncontrolled development.
		The average size of family farms is 59.52 hectares; of which, and based on frequency statistics, 64.2% consists of forest, 14.8% is pasture lands, 5.8% in coffee, 3% for cocoa and 1.22% destined for subsistence crops.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Napo moist forests (NT0142)
		This ecoregion is centered on the Rio Napo watershed in westernmost Amazonia, with portions in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.
		It is bounded on the west by the foothills of the Andes Mountains, on the south by the Marañon River in Peru, and on the north by the Rio Napo in Peru and the Rio Caguán in Colombia.
		Three main types of vegetation occur here: terra firme forests on the hills and above the flood levels; vársea forests that are seasonally flooded by whitewater rivers and that carry heavy sediment loads; and igapó forests that are seasonally flooded by flwater rivers that have no sediment load.

		Tropical moist forest: tierra-firme, várzea, swamp and igapó forests.
		This region is drained by the Napo and Pastaza river systems, which diverge respectively toward the north-east to east and the south-east from the depression between the Andean uplifts of the Serranía del Napo (with Sumaco Volcano) and the Sierra de Cutucú (Tschopp 1953).
		Along the banks of the Napo River is a narrow strip (200-1000 m wide) of relatively fertile soil, enriched by sediments from the Andes when the river floods.
