Forest of tall trees that is hot all year around and gets about 50 to 260 in. of rainfall a year. . Brazil Nut Tree. Famous for reaching heights of over 160 feet, the Brazil nut tree towers above other trees in the Amazon rainforest. During January and February, its fruit -- which is the size of a baseball and can weigh up to 5 pounds -- ripens and falls to the ground, reaching speeds of up to 50 mph on its descent. Inside the fruits’ hard, woody exterior are anywhere from 10 to 21 nuts arranged in a pattern similar to segments of an orange. The outer casing of the fruit is so hard that only one known animal -- the agoutis, a large rodent with sharp, chisel-like teeth -- can crack it open. In just one year, a Brazil nut tree can produce some 250 pounds of nuts.. By: Meredith Brown, Deandra Thomas, Jenna Banwell, and Samantha Maxson. Strangler fig. Canopy. Bromeliad. Climate and temperature chart. Mountains. Cloud Forests. Lichens. Food Web. Rainforest locations. Temperate Rainforest. The Temperate Rain Forest is a richly productive biome. Mild temperatures and abundant rainfall encourage plant growth, and the forest is covered with plant life at every level. Because chemical reactions occur more slowly at lower temperatures, the minerals in dead plant material are recovered more slowly than in the tropical rain forest. The forest floor is carpeted with fallen needles, and fungi grow on fallen logs.. Today we are learning to…….. Describe why the rainforest is so important to us.. Explain why the rainforest is being destroyed.. Discuss how groups of people are trying to conserve the rainforests.. We are learning to….. Define. . the term sustainable.

Outcome: . By: Erik Weber. Southern Cassowary. Found in Northern Australia, New Guinea, and surrounding islands.. Eats mainly fruit, vegetation, insects, and fungi.. Known as the “gardeners of the rainforest” because they eat the seeds of a fruit, then deposit it somewhere else in their feces.. Tropical forests are characterized by the greatest diversity of species. They occur near the equator. Because the equator is evenly heated by the sun, the average temperatures of the three warmest and three coldest months do not differ by more than 5 degrees. . How many animals are there?. Rainforests have more animals than any other ecosystem!. There are 125 . species of mammals, 400 species of birds, 100 species of reptiles, 60 species of amphibians, and 150 species of .
