Predicting species diversity in tropical forests

This observation is striking in light of the forests’ disparate geographic locations, climates, and overall species diversities. We now introduce the spatial persistence ...

Tropical rainforest
![](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:FilePath/Aerial_view_of_the_Amazon_Rainforest.jpg?width=300)
A tropical rainforest is a biome type that occurs roughly within the latitudes 28 degrees north or south of the equator (in the equatorial zone between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). This ecosystem experiences high average temperatures and a significant amount of rainfall. These rainforests can be found in Asia; Australia; Africa; South America; Central America; the U.S. of Florida and Hawaii; as well as Mexico and on many of the Pacific, Caribbean, and Indian Ocean islands. Within the World Wildlife Fund's biome classification, tropical rainforests are a type of tropical wet forest (or tropical moist broadleaf forest) and may also be referred to as lowland equatorial evergreen rainforest.
