Figure 32 Coral reefs are built up from the skeletons of billions of tiny individual animals Figure 33 Species richness for vertebrates is greatest in tropical regions with abundant rainfall Figure 34 Cone snails are an indicator group for marine biodiversity. tropical rain forest quickly diminishes. Recentresearch suggests that about half of the precipitationthat falls in a tropical rain forest is a result of itsmoist, green canopy. Evaporation andevapotra Today, forests occupy approximately one-third of Earth’s land area, account for over two-thirds of the leaf area of land plants, and contain about 70% of carbon present in living things. ..
