Exploring the Layers of a Tropical Rainforest

The video explores the four layers of a tropical rainforest: emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor. Each layer provides a unique environment for diverse wildlife and plays a crucial role in the ecosystem. The emergent layer features towering trees like the Brazilian nut tree, while the canopy is densely populated with animals and plants. The understory is darker and more humid, hosting large animals like jaguars. The forest floor is a recycling hub, where organic matter decomposes to nourish the ecosystem. The rainforest also contributes to Earth's climate regulation, earning the nickname 'lungs of the Earth.'
