Tropical Rainforest and Tropical Seasonal Forest - Biomes#1

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
The greatest biodiversity of any area of earth with over half of all plant and animal species. Known commonly as jungle, selva or rainforest, these regions are in fact two distinct biomes - the evergreen rainforest and seasonal forest (dry forest) of the tropics. - In this biogeography video I'll look at the tropical forests that are basically found in two types - the classic rainforest that has hardwood evergreen trees, and the dry forest or seasonal forest that sheds its leaves in the dry season. We also look at the various rainforest plants that come in three main groups depending on the continent. A typical tropical forest in cross section has these layers: - Forest floor - Understorey - Canopy (Rainforest Canopy) - Emergent - Tropical forest, also known as equatorial forest is found all around the equatorial regions, including: - Central America and the Caribbean (Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic, Colombia) - The Amazon Basin of South America (Ecuador Amazon, Ecuador Jungle, Brazil Forest, Peru Rainforest) - West Africa and the Congo Basin (Congo Rainforest) - The Indian Subcontinent (India Forest) - South East Asia and the southern coast of China (Thailand Forest, South China Forest, Taiwan Forest) - The archipelagos of The Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia (Philippines Forest, Malaysia Rainforest, Singapore Rainforest) - The north-west coasts of Australia, and most Pacific islands including Fiji and Hawaii (Hawaii Forest) The tropical forests are under greater threat of deforestation than at any time, as they are cut down to make way for agriculture

Time for the usual brazil rant under every tropical rainforest video (ahem)
Maybe going into one of the two most ecologically important biomes on the planet a biome that has hosted unbelievable numbers specialized species for like millions of years where an abundance of trees is invaluable in maintaining the weather where the ecology makes one of the biggest carbon sequesters and the eco layer is the only thing keeping it fertile duo to constant chemical weathering in the soil, and then burning it all down to feed some cows for a few years isn-t a good thing?
Also this video is a very good overview of one of my favorite biomes

I love Tropical with many Resources of Fruit trees and other crops for example Coconut not only for juice and fruits but also as coconut milk dish and coconut cooking oil, cocoa turn as Chocolate -, Coffee - and Banana - also the leaf you can coated rice - and other sweet dessert, papaya make in Factory as soap. Herbal leaves including Guava leaves, Soursop leaves, Mango leaves and others. Other tea leaf like Lagundi, oregano, for caugh and cold remedy and also ginger and Turmeric with cinammon and curry leaf for multi purposes it can be for dishes and herbal medecine.

In Trinidad and Tobago we have mostly dry seaonal forests. In the mountains and valleys we have patches of rain forests and higher up we have small subtropical highland climates with cloud forests. Drought tolerate tropical plants with deep taproots grown well at lower elevation. Grasses and Shrubs like verbenas and borages. Trees like legumes, Sapotes and myrtaceae. In the hills and valleys: chives and herbs, Citrus, bananas, papaya, cocoa, cofee and passiflora grow well.

It is worth noting that a significant part of those rainforests, especially in South America, actually create the rainfall they need with a precipitation - evapotranspiration feedback loop. If we cut too much of them, it is possible that this feedback loop will be broken, and the rest of the forest will eventually turn to the savanna. Which, obviously, is a far cry from the tropical rainforest biodiveristy

FALSE! THE LUNGS OF THE WORLD IS THE FARM LANDS OF NORTH AMERICA! THOSE AREAS IN CANADA, USA AND MEXICO PRODUCT MORE O2 THAN THE AMAZON AND ALL OF SOUTH AMERICA BECAUSE WILD FOREST ALSO PRODUCES CO2! PhD Vertebrate Paleontologist University of Chicago.

Make sure you do the temperate broadleaf deciduous forests as well! For the longest I-ve been trying to figure out how those forests physically look different from these tropical rainforests and I can-t find a good distinction lol. They look the same.

The tropical nature conservation community in Indonesia is ready to receive financial assistance from sympathizers who care about the environment in Indonesia's tropical forests, hopefully your good deeds will be rewarded by the almighty God.

In Venezuela the government has done nothing to stop deforestation by illegal gold miners, our rainforests were always relatively safe due to their location far from major population centers, this might not be the case anymore. :(

So how many years it will take to claim back ever green tropical Forest if some government or NGO wants to and has the money to do so can it be bring back to atleast it's half glory

As a student trying to study a test about tropical rainforset and seasonal forest too, I want to thank you for making this video because this video helped me pass my test.

Hi everyone! I hope you enjoyed this presentation of these beautiful and precious forests of the tropics. Let me know of your experiences in seeing these first hand!

I love your videos so much! They're so well made and relaxing, it's like I'm watching a super big-budget documentary. Looking forward to seeing more videos! :)

My favorite of all the biomes. Cool video. A plentiful of information shared, however some advise on how to help these rainforests would of been helpful.
reply

Yikes, stop cutting those og trees and there carpet of biological and nonbiological companions! We have what we need let's be reasonable.
reply

it would be great if there was a map of agriculture throughout the tropical regions, just to give perspective on the scale

This is amazing, but cannot stand the leechs. Make sure wear boots and long pants when you go to tropical rainforest.

Great video! Can you make a video about Florida-s climate, specifically south Florida and its biomes? Thank you!
reply

I believe we have a seasonal rainforest in the north of Iran and Georgia
Anyway, it was a great video.

Thankyou so much for your videos! They are very beautiful with nice presentation. Looking forward to many more.
