Tropical rainforests are located around and near the equator, where they undergo a climatic pattern that consists of warm average temperatures and heavy rainfalls. Their current distribution over tropical America, Africa, Madagascar, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea, and more scantily in Australia, results from successive fragmentations that occurred ...

The author describes tropical rainforest ecology based around the 3 types of biological diversity (also known as biodiversity), which are known as genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. While the book focuses on tropical rainforests, such ecosystems have micro-ecosystems and there are other ecosystems (cloud forests) found in ...

Will Tropical Rainforests Survive Climate Change?
2015Tropical forests account for over 50 % of the global forested area and forest carbon stock. Although the deforestation rate is tending to decline, forests are confronted with climate change, which could profoundly modify their functioning. The migration of species that took place during the Pleistocene is no longer possible because human activities ...

Phytochemistry of Australia's Tropical Rainforest
2021Rare, unique and irreplaceable – precious native rainforests occupy a precariously small part of Australia while retaining a remarkable level of both biological and chemical diversity unrivalled by any other ecosystem. Australia's ancient history and traditions are intimately intertwined with the rainforest plants that humans have utilised as both food

The Tropical Rainforest Crisis
1998‘Crisis’ is an overworked term in the English language. It is used to describe everything from the smallest of domestic problems (the babysitter cancels at the last minute) to the largest, most dramatic of global events (Bosnia). The term implies that the events identified as crises require urgent and careful attention demonstrating an individual’s or ...

Pleistocene humans in tropical rainforest
Science, 2015Human Paleoecology The tropical rainforest environment is nutritionally poor and tricky to navigate as compared to open habitats. This poses challenges for human subsistence. There has been little evidence to suggest that human populations relied on rainforest resources before the start of the Holocene, 10,000 years ago. Roberts et al. analyzed earlier

Tropical Deforestation and Rainforest Degradation
1998The critical approach to regime analysis developed in the previous chapter directs us to examine specific issue areas when analysing the process of regime formation. This requirement necessitates in turn a solid grounding in the issue area being investigated.
