Tropical Rainforests

Rainforests, home to half of Earth's species, are mainly located near the equator. The Amazon, the largest rainforest, spans nine countries. These forests create their own climate through transpiration, contributing to significant rainfall. Despite abundant rainfall, plant adaptations like waxy leaves help manage excess water. The dense canopy limits sunlight, affecting plant growth. Rainforests face severe threats, with significant portions of the Amazon already destroyed. Continued deforestation could lead to irreversible loss.
