the Rainforest Biome

The rainforest biome is a lush, dense forest found near the Earth's equator, characterized by high temperatures and heavy rainfall year-round. This environment supports a vast diversity of plants, animals, and insects due to its rich, moist soil and consistent climate. Rainforests are divided into tiers: emergent trees, the canopy, and the understory, each hosting unique life forms. They play a crucial role in global oxygen production, climate regulation, and carbon storage. Despite their vital importance, rainforests face threats from deforestation, climate change, and human activities, making their conservation essential for planetary health.
