Tropical Rainforest biome: ecology, growth, life forms, canopy, treefall gap, dispersal, seedlings, trees, buttress, stilt root, vine, epiphyte: Pictures of rainforest biome; ecology, ecosystem; climate; rainstorm over forest; water dispersal of fruit; aerial of forest canopy; undergrowth; natural clearing or treefall gap in rainforest; growth, life cycle, regeneration, colonization, growth; fungi on decaying wood as part of the nutrient chain; seed dispersal by water; dead leaves and seedlings on forest litter; young leaves of palms; biodiversity; life forms: tree, trees, emergent tree in rainforest; brazil nut tree; palm; buttresses, stilt roots; liana, vine, climber; scandent plant; epiphytes or air plants; plant; herb on ground floor; leaf, leaf shape, compound leaf, variegated leaf; leaves with drip tip, foliage, tropical flowers; flowers in rainforest undergrowth; thorns; shrub; swamp forest; floating aquatic plants; aerials; aerial of blooming (flowering) trees in rainforest, deforestation, log transportation; forest fire, burning rainforest.
Tropical ecology concepts, processes: climate, biome, ecosystem, biodiversity, life forms, human interaction:
Concepts in ecology from tropical climate (rainstorm, hurricane damage)
to seed dispersal to seedling to life forms to biomes,
ecosystems and habitats (rainforest, cloud forest, savanna grassland, wooded
savanna, aquatic vegetation (floating, swamp forest, mangrove), dry or xerophytic vegetation, desert, tropical alpine
vegetation: paramo, puna; canopy, emergent tree, trunk, liana (vine),
leaves, leaf shape, drip tip, flowers, thorn, buttress, stilt roots;
treefall gap or natural clearing, with
regeneration and colonization; human interaction: fire (rainforest, savanna),
deforestation, logging; alternative energy: wind (eolian) farm. More
images in specific galleries.
Savanna grassland, wooded savanna, cerrado, grassland, saxicolous vegetation Savanna is called cerrado in Brazil, twisted trees, rock outcrops in savanna, saxicolous vegetation: vegetation among rocks, flowers: Vellozia, Helicteres, Habenaria ground orchid, savanna fire, antelope in savanna, savanna devastation: sugar cane plantation with ethanol processing plant.
Aquatic vegetation: mangrove, floating, floodplain, igapo (swamp forest), swamp, rheophyte: mangrove forest on Brazil Atlantic coast, on Venezuela caribbean coast, stilt rots of Rhizophora mangle tree, floating vegetation on Amazon river: Victoria amazonica giant water lily, floating grass and Phyllanthus sp. (Euphorbiaceae) on channel in igapo swamp forest, water hyacinth and Cissus sp. vine in Pantanal swamp, water dispersal of fruit of Mauritia flexuosa palm, aerials of Amazon river floodplain during wet and dry season and of tidal floodplain forest of Amazon estuary, tree with buttresses in igapo forest (permanently flooded swamp forest) and on riverside, rheophyte (growing in running water) fern in Malaysia.
Mountain (altitude) vegetation: cloud forest (montane rain forest, paramo, puna: Cloud forest (montane rain forest); tree ferns on Mount Kinabalu, Borneo, Malaysia; Euterpe palm in Cordillera de la Costa in Venezuela; stand of bamboos in Guiana Highlands of Venezuela; paramo: wet altitude vegetation in the Andes mountain range with flowers: Espeletia, Senecio, Lupinus (lupine); dry alpine (altitude) vegetation of Central Andes: Puna grassland in Peru
Flowers and leaves:
Tropical wildflowers of rainforest and savanna, often with botanical
scientific latin name of family (families), genus, species; exotic foliage;
agriculture / horticulture: tulip cultivation in Holland; Uzbek old man
caring for his rose garden.
Palms (Family: Arecacea or Palmae):
Palm trees and undergrowth small palms in their natural rainforest
habitat: Amazon rainforest in Brazil and Peru; Venezuela; West Africa
(Ivory Coast); Malaysia (Borneo); cloud forest in Venezuela; Atlantic
rainforest in Brazil; thorny stems; coconut plantations in Brazil, Hawaii (Kauai)
Begonias (Family Begoniaceae):
Plants often with spectacular decorative foliage in their natural
habitat: two species (B. glabra in Peru, B. maynensis in Brazil) in
Amazon rainforest; one species (B. petasitifolia) in Brazilian
Highlands; the remaining species in the Atlantic rainforest (Mata
Atlantica), Serra do Mar mountain range, Brazil.
Environment, biodiversity, rainforest destruction, global warming, alternative (wind) energy The emphasis is on biodiversity, both in natural ecosystems and in traditional slash-and-burn agriculture. Low impact human interaction is shown by the extractivism of balata latex. Human impact is illustrated by iron mining in the amazon rainforest, sugar cane monoculture and logging. Alternative energy is illustrated by a wind farm (wind, eolian energy).
