33、 there are two types of Rainforestthe temperate and the tropical Tropical rainforests are found close to the equator. Temperate rainforests are found along coasts in the temperate zone, such as the Pacific Northwest of the USA. Both are endangered!Rainforests Endangered! Today only about three perce

34、nt of the original temperate rainforest in the U. S. A. remains, mostly inside Olympic National Park in Washington State. Prior to the arrival of homesteaders just over a century ago, the Olympic Peninsula contained more than a million acres of old-growth spruce and hemlock. Because of habitat destr

35、uction, many plants and animals have become island dwellers inside the park now. Tropical rainforests comprise only 40% of the worlds tropical forests and only 20% of the worlds total forests. They cover 6%7% of the Earths land surface. Half of the worlds plant and animal species live in the tropica

36、l rainforests of the world. Thirty acres of trees are cut in the tropical rainforests every minute. As you read this, tropical rainforests are shrinking. Each second a portion of rainforest the size of a football field is destroyed or damaged. What Makes the Tropical Rainforest Special -The rainfore

37、sts are home to half of the Earths plant and animal species.-They are winter homes to many birds that breed in temperate latitudes.-Tropical rainforests are some of the most beautiful wildernesses on our planet.-They are home to tribal cultures that have survived successfully in the forests for many

38、 thousands of years.-The forests are a potential source of medicinal plants that may benefit everyone on Earth.-The ecosystem of the rainforest is based on the most complex interdependence of plants and animals. This is both the forests strength and its weakness: highly specialized organisms are par

39、ticularly vulnerable to disturbance, because they cannot adapt fast enough to survive the change.-Tropical rainforests help maintain global rain and weather patterns. Much of the water that evaporates from the trees returns in the form of rainfall. Removal of the forest can change the natural rainfa

40、ll patterns.Tropical Rainforest Layers Tropical rainforests have four layers:Emergent Layer These giant trees thrust above the dense canopy layer(树冠层) and have huge mushroom-shaped crowns. These trees enjoy the greatest amount of sunlight but also must endure high temperatures, low humidity, and str

41、ong winds.Canopy Layer The broad, irregular crowns of these trees form a tight, continuous canopy 60 to 90 feet above the ground. The branches are often densely covered with other plants (epiphytes) and tied together with vines (lianas). The canopy is home to 90% of the organisms found in the rain f

42、orest; many seeking the brighter light in the treetops.Understory Receiving only 2%15% of the sunlight that falls on the canopy, the understory is a dark place. It is relatively open and contains young trees and leafy herbaceous plants that tolerate low light. Many popular house plants come from thi

43、s layer. Only along rivers and roadways and in treefall and cut areas is sunlight sufficient to allow growth to become thick and impenetrableForest Floor The forest floor receives less than 2% of the sunlight and consequently, little grows here except plants adapted to very low light. On the floor i

44、s a thin layer of fallen leaves, seeds, fruits, and branches that very quickly decomposes. Only a thin layer of decaying organic matter is found, unlike in temperate deciduous (落叶性的) forests.Soil and Nutrient Recycling Most tropical rainforest soils are relatively poor in nutrients. Millions of year

45、s of weathering and torrential rains have washed most of the nutrients out of the soil. More recent volcanic soils, however, can be very fertile. Tropical rain forest soils contain less organic matter than temperate forests and most of the available nutrients are found in the living plant and animal

46、 material. Nutrients in the soil are often in forms that are not accessible by plants. Constant warmth and moisture promote rapid decay of organic matter. When a tree dies in the rainforest, living organisms quickly absorb the nutrients before they have a chance to be washed away. When tropical fore

47、sts are cut and burned, heavy rains can quickly wash the released nutrients away, leaving the soil even more impoverished.Causes of Destruction Tropical rainforests are being cut at an alarming rate. Although estimates vary, some scientists believe that we are losing an area of rainforest the size of Pennsylvania each year. If deforestation continues at this rate we may lose rainforests altogether within the next one hundred years. Tropical deforestati
