Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, also known as tropical rain forests, are a tropical and subtropical biome. The tropics are the geographic region of the Earth centered on the equator and limited in latitude by the two tropics: the Tropic of Cancer in the north and the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemisphere. ...
Subtropical (or semitropical) areas are those adjacent to the tropics, usually roughly defined as the ranges 23. ...
In ecology, a biome is a major regional group of distinctive plant and animal communities best adapted to the regions physical environment. ...
Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are found in a belt around the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with high year-round rainfall. Tropical and subtropical regions with lower rainfall or distinct wet and dry seasons are home to Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests and Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests. Temperate rain forests also occur in certain humid temperate coastal regions. The tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forest biome is located at tropical and subtropical latitudes. ...
Tropical and subtropical coniferous forests are a biome located at tropical and subtropical latitudes. ...
Temperate rain forest in the Mount Hood Wilderness. ...
Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are common in several terrestrial ecozones, including parts of the Afrotropic (equatorial Africa), Indomalaya (parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), the Neotropic (northern South America and Central America), Australasia (eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, and northern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean). About half of the world's tropical rainforests are in the South American countries of Brazil and Peru. Rain forests now cover less than 6% of Earth's land surface. Scientists estimate that more than half of all the world's plant and animal species live in tropical rain forests. Tropical rainforests produce 40% of Earth's oxygen. Ecozone is a classification system of the world first proposed by Miklos Udvardy under the name biogeographical realms for conservation purposes. ...

Commonly, Central America is the region of North America located between the southern border of Mexico and the northwest border of Colombia, in South America. ...
The Australasian ecozone includes Australia, the island of New Guinea (including Papua New Guinea and the Indonesian province of Papua), and the eastern part of the Indonesian archipelago, including the island of Sulawesi, the Moluccan islands (the Indonesian provinces of Maluku and North Maluku) and islands of Lombok, Sumbawa, Sumba...
Oceania is the smallest of the worlds terrestrial ecozones, and unique in not including any continental land mass. ...
- rainfall : high, year round, sometimes with seasonal variation.
- temperature : always warm
- soil : generally poor and leached.
- plants : high diversity
- animals : high diversity
Threats: The most severe threat to the Tropical Rainforest is Human intervention. Clearing and degradation of tropical rain forests for timber, grazing land and agriculture, continues to lead towards severe soil erosion of already nutrient-poor soils. The rapid rate of clearing is destroying the homes and biodiversity in one of the most animal and plant prolific biomes on earth. Due to all of this, tropical rainforests now only cover 6% of the earth’s surface.
