What is the ecosystem of the rainforests?
137842
Rainforests are their own ecosystems.  They have a warm and moist climate with rainfall of 79 to 157 inches a year.  The nutrients in the soil cycle rapidly, causing the soils to be nutrient poor.  They have the highest biodiversity of the ecosystmes.

aww i hate that. the rainforest are already reduced to a 4% of the entire world area and they still want to cut. get the National wildlife and forestn preservation for support.

Forests: lumberjack, hunter, ranger, charcoal burner, owner of rubber plantation, collector of plants,\n\nWild life: park ranger, hunter, photographer, safari guide, collector of wild food such as truffles, \n\nI hope this list helps a bit!

Which Tropical Rainforest?  There is more than 1 you know.

Well, in Australia the ecology movement has preserved rainforests and protected whales, bringing\nheaps of tourists to see the whales and walk through the rainforests, and helping tourism.\nOn the downside, the occasional tourist in the tropical areas gets eaten by a crocodile; but hey, if you go swimming in a river marked "Danger - crocodiles" you're gonna get that.

Difference between rainforest and which one? \nProbably the habitat, no. of trophic levels

ecosystem? biosphere? biological community?

deforestation. It is the only forest of its type in the world, and it is receding at an alarming rate. it used to span around the globe, and now is 1/3 its original size. Many animals use this as its only habitat. deforestation causes loss of animal habitat as well. This forest is similar to the rain forest, it can't be reproduced quickly. once it is gone another forest like it will be millions of years to recreate.

Rainforests sure get a lot...hence their name!\nAlso, amazingly, deserts get a lot of flash floods!\nHope I helped

Rainforests act as 'carbon sinks' basically mopping up the carbon expelled by the world, they convert carbon dioxide into glucose and bulk within the trees, lowering the pace of global warming.\n\nIf we cut down the forest we release that carbon dioxide into the atmosphere (it is estimated that 1/8 of all carbon dioxide emissions come from the burning of Tropical rainforests) and an are the size of Wales is cut down every year. its preservation and hopeful expansion is something that the world needs to have as a high concern\n\nhope that helps

Diversity is a term that refers both to the different classes of items in a given system, and also to the distribution of those items in those classes.\nBiological diversity or biodiversity is related to the concept of biocomplexity, that is, the web of interelationships and fluxes circulating in the ecosystem. It is usually measured at three levels: ecological biodiversity, species biodiversity and genetic biodiversity.\n\nSpecies biodiversity is not only the number of species in a given ecosystem, but also the proportion of individuals that belong to each species. \nExample: \nIf you have 10 species, but out of a 100-individuals sample, 91 belong to a single species, then the biodiversity is not that high. In probabilistic terms, you  could say that the chances of finding 9 of the 10 species in any sample is low. \n\nThe rainforests of the world are classical examples of high diversity ecosystems. In contrast, most ecosystems that are under continuous stress are less biodiverse, for example deserts, or grasslands. However, low biodiversity does not necessarily mean "less healthy" ecosystems. Although a grassland is less biodiverse than a rainforest, it's a stable biome all the same.\nA related concept, ecological biodiversity, refers to the variety of ecosystems in a given area, and the pattern of distribution of communities in a given landscape. No ecosystem is completely isolated from others and the health of each one depends partly on the interrelationships with other areas, therefore, the loss of ecological biodiversity due to the disappearance of certain environments can lead to greater unbalances.\nGenetic biodiversity refers to variety at genetic level. In a population, it refers to the different alleles (variations of a single gene) that are present. We know that evolutionarily speaking, polymorphisms (presence of different alleles) are a sign of a healthy population, because a greater source of variation is a better resource to respond to environmental changes. Populations that lose their genetic biodiversity (for example, because the number of individuals is severely reduced) may be more exposed to extinction. \nBiodiversity can be measured at all the organization levels studied by Ecology, but is especially focused in communities and ecosystems.

try www.worldproperties.com. They cover the world, but I don't know if that includes anything with a jungle...

The most visible inhabitants of forest litter are arthropods, such as ants, beetles, millipedes, slaters and spiders. Many of these are important decomposers of plant matter while others, like spiders and some ants and beetles, are predators.\n\nMore info below:

Ecosystems are about synomymous with biomes (areas of the world with similar climate, plants and animals).\n\nThere are seven kinds of biomes in the world: tundra, taiga (= coniferous forest), temperate forest, tropical rainforest, desert, grassland, and ocean. \n\nOf course, most places on the 'Net list more than 7 biomes.\nhttp://www.windows.ucar.edu/cgi-bin/tour_def/earth/ecosystems.html\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/biomes/

Tropical and temperate rain forests have been subjected to heavy logging and agricultural clearance throughout the 20th century and the area covered by rainforests around the world is rapidly shrinking. It is estimated that the rainforest was reduced by about 58,000 km² annually in the 1990s. Rainforests used to cover 14% of the Earth's surface. This percentage is now down to 6% and it is estimated by some that the remaining natural rainforests could disappear within 40 years (mid-21st century). Biologists have estimated that large numbers of species are being driven to extinction, possibly more than 50,000 a year, due to the removal of habitat with destruction of the rain forests. Protection and regeneration of the rainforests is a key goal of many environmental charities and organisations, including EcologyFund and the Nature Conservancy.
