Natural Ecosystems - Wet Forests and Rainforests T he slow erosion of Victoria’s ranges by water and wind over millions of years has produced deeply dissected ranges in southern, central and north-eastern Victoria — the Otways, Central Highlands, Strzeleckis, Wilsons Promontory, Victorian Alps, and the mountains of far East Gippsland. I n the cool mountains and gullies on the slopes of these ranges, and in other wet areas at lower elevations, wet eucalypt forests and rainforests dominate the landscape. These awe-inspiring forests are among the great natural wonders of the continent. Here the world’s largest flowering plant, the majestic Mountain Ash, reaches as much as 100 metres high and 15 metres in circumference. A t different altitudes Alpine Ash, Messmate Stringybark, Mountain Grey Gum, Manna Gum, White Peppermint, Silvertop and other eucalypts share the sky. I n the sheltered gullies and rainforests, Myrtle Beech, Sassafras, Blackwood, Lilly-pilly, Kanooka and tree-ferns provide umbrellas of shade for a wide diversity of ferns, shrubs, mosses and a myriad of other life-forms. Many of the understorey plants, such as the Soft Tree-fern and Musk Daisy-bush, survive and flourish after fires, and are often older than the dominant eucalypts. The great diversity of bird life in these forests is well known to ornithologists, and the rarity of many mammals (including one of the State’s faunal emblems

55. Rainforest Biomes All about the tropical rainforest biome, description, global position, climate, and information on specific plants and animals of this biome. rain falls yearly. Rain forests belong to the tropical wet climate group world's plant and animal species live in tropical rain forests. Tropical rainforests produce 40% of Earth's http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/rainforest.htm

T. Sibona. F.A.O Plants Animals Climate Southeast Asian Rainforests The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50 to 260 inches (125 to 660 cm.) of rain falls yearly. Rainforests 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. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100 to 300 species in one 2 1/2-acre (1-hectare) area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. About 1/4 of all the medicines we use come from rainforest plants. Curare comes from a tropical vine, and is used as an anesthetic and to relax muscles during surgery. Quinine, from the cinchona tree, is used to treat malaria. A person with lymphocytic leukemia has a 99% chance that the disease will go into remission because of the rosy periwinkle. More than 1,400 varieties of tropical plants are thought to be potential cures for cancer. All tropical rain forests resemble one another in some ways. Many of the trees have straight trunks that don't branch out for 100 feet or more. There is no sense in growing branches below the canopy where there is little light. The majority of the trees have smooth, thin bark because there is no need to protect the them from water loss and freezing temperatures. It also makes it difficult for

56. Types Of Rainforests Types of Rainforests. There are two types of rainforests tropical. and temperate. Tropical and temperate rainforests share certain characteristics. For example, most trees flare at the base. Vegetation is dense, tall and very green. Are all Tropical forests, Rainforests? Only a small percentage of the tropical forests are rainforests. To be a tropical http://mbgnet.mobot.org/sets/rforest/types.htm

Types of Rainforests T here are two types of rainforests tropical and temperate . Tropical and temperate rainforests share certain characteristics. For example, most trees flare at the base. Vegetation is dense, tall and very green . Both types of rainforests are rich in plant and animal species, although the diversity is greater in the tropical rainforest. Montane forests are found in mountainous areas and may contain plants such as oaks, rhododendrons, and pines, which are characteristic of temperate deciduous forests. At higher altitudes, temperatures are cooler. Even close to the equator, frost and snow can occur. Precipitation and Climate Both tropical and temperate rainforests are very lush and wet. The tropical rainforest has downpours at the rate of two inches an hour adding up to some 400 inches of rain per year. It rains a lot in the temperate rainforest, too about 100 inches per year. And even more moisture comes from the coastal fog that hovers among the trees. Tropical rainforests are warm and moist; while temperate rainforests are cool. Tropical Temperate Temperatures warm cool Number of tree species many (hundreds) few (10-20) Types of leaves broadleaf needles Age of trees 50-100 years 500-1000 years Epiphytes lots of different kinds including orchids and bromeliads mostly mosses and ferns Decomposition rate rapid slow Are all Tropical Forests, Rainforests?

57. Vanishing Rainforests Fourth grade students studied the importance of the rain forests and the risks man poses for them. They share some of their research, as well as original poems and artwork about these lands. http://www.hipark.austin.isd.tenet.edu/projects/fourth/rainforests/main.html

Highland Park Elementary School's Fourth Grade Presents: The Vanishing Rainforest It is no secret that our rainforests are quickly becoming an endangered species in and of themselves. It is our commitment to do whatever possible to educate those around us to the extreme importance of the forests and how vulnerable they are to the destructive forces of man. Please take a look at what we have included in our research project. If you have anything you feel should be include on our pages, please drop us a line. In conjunction with our tropical rain forest project, Dale Beasley's sixth grade class of St. Philomena School in Des Moines, Washington, has completed a project entitled, "Rainforests of the Pacific Northwest", examining a different type of rainforest right in our own country.

58. Where Are The Rainforests? The rainforests of Asia stretch from India and Burma in the west to Malaysia andthe islands of Bangladesh has the largest area of mangrove forests in the world http://www.srl.caltech.edu/personnel/krubal/rainforest/Edit560s6/www/where.html

WHERE ARE THE RAINFORESTS The map below shows the location of the world's tropical rainforests. Rainforests cover only a small part of the earth's surface - about 6%, yet they are home to over half the species of plants and animals in the world. Click on the dark green areas to read about the its unique rainforests. CENTRAL AMERICA This region was once entirely covered with rainforest, but large areas have been cleared for cattle ranching and for sugar cane plantations. Like other major rainforests, the jungles and mangrove swamps of Central America contain many plants and animals found nowhere else. Central America is famous for its large number of tropical birds, including many kinds of parrots. GO TO TOP THE AMAZON The Amazon jungle is the world's largest tropical rainforest. The forest covers the basin of the Amazon, the world's second longest river. The Amazon is home to the greatest variety of plants and animals on Earth. A of all the world's plants and birds and about of all mammal species are found there.
