Rainforest

[ Rainforest ]
A rain forest is a tropical forest with tall trees that are very close together, growing
in an area where it rains a lot. One kind of rainforest is called a temperate rain forest. A few
kinds of evergreen trees grow there. Another kind of rainforest is a tropical rainforest. In fact,
most of the world’s rainforests are tropical rainforests.
Tropical rainforests grow in warm places near Earth’s equator. The Equator is an
imaginary line that goes around the idle of the planet. There are tropical rain forests in
Central and South America, Africa, and Asia. The world’s largest rainforest is the Amazon rain
forest in South America. It is always hot and wet in a tropical rainforest.
More than half of the world's species of plants and animals are found in the rainforest.
Rainforests support a very broad array of fauna, including mammals, reptiles, birds and
invertebrates. Mammals may include primates, felids and other families. Reptiles include
snakes, turtles, chameleons and other families; while birds include such families as vangidae
and Cuculidae. Dozens of families of invertebrates are found in rainforests. Fungi are also very
common in rainforest areas as they can feed on the decomposing remains of plants and
animals. Many rainforest species are rapidly disappearing due to deforestation, habitat loss
and pollution of the atmosphere.
Rain forests are divided into different layers. The ground in a rainforest is called the
forest floor. Some plants living there get their food from dead plants. Other plants on the
ground eat insects. The plant layer just above the forest floor is called understorey. Not much
sunlight gets down to this layer. Young trees and plants that like low levels of light grow in
the shady understorey.
The next layer is the canopy. Medium-size trees grow in the canopy. Most of the
rainforest animals live in the canopy. Monkeys swing from branch to branch in the rain
forests of Central and South America.
The top layer of rainforest is called the emergent layer. The tops of tall trees make up
the emergent layer. They capture most of the sun and rainwater falling on the forest. The
emergent layer is thick and green.

[ Hutan Hujan ]
Hutan hujan adalah hutan tropis dengan pohon-pohon tinggi yang sangat dekat
bersama-sama, tumbuh di daerah di mana hujan banyak. Salah satu jenis hutan hujan disebut
hutan hujan sedang. Beberapa jenis pohon cemara tumbuh di sana. Jenis lain dari hutan hujan
adalah hutan hujan tropis. Bahkan, sebagian besar hutan hujan dunia adalah hutan hujan
tropis.
Hutan hujan tropis tumbuh di tempat yang hangat di dekat khatulistiwa Bumi.
Khatulistiwa adalah garis khayal yang terdapat dibagian tengah planet. Ada hutan hujan
tropis di Amerika Tengah dan Selatan, Afrika, dan Asia. hutan hujan terbesar di dunia adalah
hutan hujan Amazon di Amerika Selatan. Kondisi di hutan hujan tropis selalu panas dan basah.
Lebih dari setengah spesies tumbuhan dan hewan dunia ditemukan di dalam hutan
hujan. Hutan hujan mendukung beragam fauna, termasuk mamalia, reptil, burung dan
invertebrata. Hewan Mamalia Mencakup primata, felida dan keluarga lainnya. Hewan Reptil
Mencakup ular, kura-kura, bunglon dan keluarga lainnya; sementara burung termasuk
keluarga seperti vangidae dan Cuculidae. Puluhan keluarga invertebrata ditemukan di hutan
hujan. Jamur juga sangat umum tumbuh di daerah hutan hujan karena mereka mendapat
makanan dari sisa-sisa tanaman dan hewan yang membusuk. Banyak spesies hutan hujan yang
cepat Punah akibat Penggundulan hutan, kehilangan habitat dan pencemaran atmosfer.
Hutan hujan dibagi menjadi lapisan yang berbeda. Tanah di hutan hujan disebut lantai
hutan. Beberapa tanaman yang tinggal di sana mendapatkan makanan mereka dari tanaman
mati. Tanaman lain di tanah juga memakan serangga.
Lapisan tanaman tepat di atas lantai hutan disebut tumbuhan bawah. Tidak banyak
sinar matahari yang turun ke lapisan ini. Pohon muda dan tanaman yang seperti rendahnya
tingkat cahaya tumbuh di lapisan bawah teduh. Lapisan berikutnya adalah kanopi. Pohon
ukuran sedang tumbuh di kanopi. Sebagian besar hujan Forst hewan hidup di kanopi. Monyet
berayun dari cabang ke cabang di hutan hujan Amerika Tengah dan Selatan.
Lapisan atas hutan hujan disebut lapisan puncak. Puncak pohon tinggi membuat lapisan
muncul. Mereka menangkap sebagian besar matahari dan air hujan yang jatuh di hutan.
Lapisan puncak cenderung tebal dan hijau.
