NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Tropical forests have the highest biodiversity and primary productivity of any of the terrestrial biomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Tropical rainforests are the most biologically diverse terrestrial ecosystems in the world. The Amazon rainforest is the world’s largest tropical rainforest. It is home to around 40, 000 plant species, nearly 1, 300 bird species, 3, 000 types of fish, 427 species of mammals, and 2.5 million different insects.

Detailed explanation-3: -Rainforests have high biodiversity because they are abundant in nutrients, energy and a favorable climate. Tropical rainforests have warm temperatures and lots of precipitation. The high intensity sunlight provides energy for producers in the rainforest and supports a wide variety of plant growth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tropical rainforests are unique in the high levels of biodiversity they exhibit. Around 40% to 75% of all biotic species are indigenous to the rainforests. Rainforests are home to half of all the living animal and plant species on the planet. Two-thirds of all flowering plants can be found in rainforests.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tropical rainforests, which worldwide make up one of Earth’s largest biomes (major life zones), are dominated by broad-leaved trees that form a dense upper canopy (layer of foliage) and contain a diverse array of vegetation and other life.
