	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).

		Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests are a forest biome.
		Tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands are a grassland biome located in semi-arid to semi-humid climate regions of subtropical and tropical latitudes.
		Rainfall in tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands is between 50 and 150 centimetres (20 to 60 inches) a year, and can be highly seasonal, with the entire year's rainfall sometimes occurring within a couple of weeks.

		A forest in its natural form is home to many animal and plant species, and biomass per unit area is high compared to most other biomes, though in some types of forests such as boreal forests, much of it is locked in lignin and other materials that decompose slowly.
		Forests are usually classified in terms of the biome in which they exist, and in terms of leaf longevity of the major species (whether they are evergreen or deciduous).

		Forests can be found in all regions capable of sustaining tree growth, at altitudes up to the tree-line, except where rainfall is too low, or natural fire frequency too high.
		A forest in its natural form is home to many animal and plant species, and biomass per unit area is high compared to most other biomes.
		In ecological terms, a forest may be differentiated from a woodland: a forest is considered to have a more or less closed canopy, where the branches and foliage of trees meet or interlock; a woodland is considered to have an open canopy, where some sunlight penetrates between the trees (see also: savanna).

	Hawaii tropical moist forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For 70 million years, the Hawaiian Islands have been isolated from the rest of the world by vast stretches of the Pacific Ocean, and this isolation has resulted in the evolution of an incredible diversity of fungi, mosses, snail, birds, and other wildlife.
		In the lush, moist forests high in the mountains, Koa and ‘Ohia Lehua trees are draped with vines, orchids, ferns, and mosses.
		While we often associate Hawaii with beautiful rain forests, which occur on the mountaintops of the smaller islands and on the windward sides of the larger islands, the islands' moist forest regions are also home to wet shrublands and bogs in swampy areas.

		It is comprised of steep, granite mountains that rise on the eastern slope from a deep oceanic trench to nearly 4,000 m in elevation at the summit of Mt. Yushan.
		Tropical forests of South Taiwan are quite similar in their ecology and species composition to the coastal forests of southeastern mainland China (Guangdong and Guangxi Provinces).
		While Asian mangrove forests at the latitude of Taiwan have a lower species richness than the mangrove forests in the equatorial regions, they still provide important ecosystem services such as protecting the coastline from ocean storms and catching sediment transported from land to sea.

		Mangrove forests also grow along the shores of some of the small islands and along the shores of the lagoons of the larger islands.
		Forest clearing, poaching for food and feathers, and introduced species that compete with or prey upon native fauna all threaten the islands' wildlife.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Himalayan subtropical broadleaf forests (IM0115)
		The forest types include Dodonea scrub, subtropical dry evergreen forests of Olea cuspidata, northern dry mixed deciduous forests, dry Siwalik sal (Shorea robusta) forests, moist mixed deciduous forests, subtropical broadleaf wet hill forests, northern tropical semi-evergreen forests, and northern tropical wet evergreen forests (Champion and Seth 1968).
		The forest types are varied because of the subtropical climate, complex topography, rich alluvial soils, moisture gradient, and intermingling of taxa from the Indo-Malayan and Palearctic regions (Rawat and Mukherjee 1999).
		Therefore, we used MacKinnon's (1997) digital map of the distribution of original vegetation to delineate the boundaries of the subtropical forests that run the length of the eastern and central Himalayas, flanked by the Terai and Duar savanna grasslands and the temperate broadleaf forests.

		Today, forest cover is estimated to be about 52 percent, but a majority is made up of monoculture plantations (plantations of a single tree species), and the trees tend to be non-native.
		Mangrove forests are threatened by conversion of coastal habitat, and habitat in Kenting National Park is threatened by agriculture, mining, road construction, and thermal pollution from a nearby nuclear power plant.
		Conversion of the forest to agriculture and settlements, as well as frequent fires, remain the main threats to habitat and biodiversity.

		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 liana s, 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 pill s, stimulant s, and tranquilizing drug s" (Banks 36).
