Extractions: Once the roots reach the nutrient-rich leaf litter below, the strangler fig grows quickly. A network of roots envelops the host, and up in the canopy, the strangler fig begins to compete with the host tree for the precious light. In time, the strangler fig can grow to over 45 metres, and the host tree can be overwhelmed, and die. LARGE UPRIGHT LEAVES OF THE 'BIRD-NEST' FERN The bird's nest fern is another plant that attaches itself to a host, though, unlike the strangler fig, it doesn't present a threat to its host. The bird's nest fern is an epiphyte, a plant that grows on another plant, or a rockface, or even a solid enough vine, without taking nutrients from its host.
Costa Rica - Canopying In Costa Rica
A description of the origin of this new adventure sport in the rainforests of Costa Rica. Part of a collection of over 100 articles on different topics about Costa Rica, compiled by Info Costa Rica.
http://www.infocostarica.com/sports/canopying.html

Extractions: Do you remember the movie MEDICINE MAN, starring Sean Connery, and if you do, do you remember the scene where him and the other scientist (his romantic interest, of course) go flying through the treetops of rainforests hanging from harnesses tied to ropes, well, that is what canopying is all about. This adventure sport is new both to Costa Rica and to the rest of the world, and if the fact of flying through treetops at 40 meters from the ground seems to you as both an incredibly frightening and exciting idea, just imagine what it must be like to do it among the tree tops (also called canopies, thus the name of the sport) of the tropical rain and cloud forests. The sport originated from rappelling, which is a sport derived from mountain climbing in that it also uses safety climbing harnesses and ropes to displace the person from one inaccessible point to another.

GORP - A Walk In The Treetops - A Bird's-eye View Of Kakum National Park
A trip through one of the most diverse rainforests observing the wildlife, local culture and natural formations.
http://gorp.away.com/gorp/publishers/Consintl/Gha_kak.htm

Extractions: Conservation International The long-tailed Verreaux's Touraco floats down from the sky. From your vantage point on the canopy walkway, you see a brilliant flash of red on the wings of this magnificent bird as it lands a few feet away to settle on a Kuntan tree, one of the tallest trees in the forest canopy. This is something you'd never see from the forest floor. Located in Kakum National Park in the West African country of Ghana , Africa's only canopy walkway is suspended 100 feet above the ground, offering you what is truly a bird's eye view of the rainforest. At this height, you don't have to be an expert to identify the colorful patterns of tropical birds as they glide through the forest below you. "The slight swaying is intimidating, but it's an incredible sensation to walk along it. The experience is pure adrenaline, and is definitely not for people with a fear of heights," said Mari Omland, project manager of the Ghana program at Conservation International. Despite its scary appearance, expert designers and climbers were consulted throughout all the phases of its construction, to ensure that the walkway was safely built and able to meet world-class safety standards.

http://www.szgdocent.org/ff/f-rain1.htm

Extractions: Why are there so many different types of plants and animals in a rainforest? In all habitats, each plant and animal faces the same basic challenges: to eat, stay alive and reproduce. Each animal and plant develops unique solutions to these problems; that is, it finds a niche that it can best exploit. A niche is not just the physical place where it stays, but also the other plants and animals that affect its lifestyle (predators, prey) and seasonal conditions. Over a long period of time, each animal and plant specialises in a narrower niche, thus vacating more niches for other specialists.

Rainforest Types Of The Central Eastern Rainforests Of Australia
Subtropical rainforests. Sub 1984. Under the Canopy, Guide to the rainforests of NSW NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service 1991.
http://www.bigvolcano.com.au/natural/rftypes.htm

Extractions: Information Network Sub-tropical rainforests are generally found where the rainfall is more than 1300mm annually and growing in fertile eutrophic parent rocks (basalt and rich shales), you'll most likely find subtropical rainforest favouring sheltered gullies from sea level to about 900 metres. There is normally a well developed multi layered canopy of between 10 and 60 species of trees, many of which will exhibit the buttressing commonly associated with rainforest trees. Strangler species, including the ubiquitous Strangler Fig, stands of Bangalow Palms, woody vines and large epiphytes such as Orchids, Birdsnest, Elk and Staghorn ferns will be obvious, and the ground cover will consist of ground ferns and large leafed herbs. Despite the huge diversity of species, the more common ones are Booyongs (Argyrodendron spp.), Yellow Carrabeen (Sloanea woollsii), Rosewood (Dysoxylum fraseranum), the Fig (Ficus spp) and Lilly Pillie (Syzygium) families.
