Tropical Rainforests: Characteristics, Adaptations, and Climate Change -…

- - - - Dense layer of leaves and branches (around 30 meters/100 feet)
      - Intercepts much sunlight and rainfall
    - - Distinct environmental conditions in each layer
- - - - Thick vines looping around trees to reach sunlight
      - Reliance on trees for support
      - Spreading and winding tightly in canopy for stability
    - - To cope with drier and hotter conditions in the canopy
  - - - Facilitate water runoff to prevent fungal and bacterial growth
  - - - Provide support in unstable environments
      - May aid seedling movement
    - - Accessing deeper soil during drought (potential resilience trait)
      - Developed root system crucial for water uptake
- - - - Communication in dense foliage
    - - Flying, gliding, or jumping between trees
