rainforest ecosystem

A rainforest ecosystem is a dense, vibrant environment characterized by tall trees, abundant rainfall, and diverse wildlife. These ecosystems are typically found near the equator and are known for their rich biodiversity, hosting millions of species including plants, animals, and microorganisms. The layers of the rainforest—emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor—each provide unique habitats. Rainforests play a crucial role in regulating the Earth's climate, absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They also contribute to the global water cycle and are vital for many indigenous cultures and medicinal discoveries. Conservation is essential to protect these invaluable ecosystems.
