Tropical rainforests are rainforests that occur in areas of tropical rainforest climate in which there is no dry season – all months have an average precipitation of at least 60 mm – and may also be referred to aslowland equatorial evergreen rainforest. True rainforests are typically found between 10 degrees north and south of the equator (see map); they are a sub-set of the tropical forestbiome that occurs roughly within the 28 degree latitudes (in the equatorial zone between theTropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn). Within the World Wildlife Fund's biome classification, tropical rainforests are a type oftropical moist broadleaf forest (or tropical wet forest) that also includes the more extensiveseasonal tropical forests

Tropical rainforest, also spelled tropical rain forest, luxuriant forest, generally composed of broad-leaved trees and found in wet tropical uplands and lowlands around the Equator.

Rainforests are vegetation types dominated by broad-leaved trees that form a dense upper canopy (layer of foliage) and contain a diverse array of vegetation. Contrary to common thinking, not all rainforests occur in places with high, constant rainfall; for example, in the so-called “dry rainforests” of northeastern Australia the climate is punctuated by a dry season, which reduces the annual precipitation. Nor are all forests in areas that receive large amounts of rainfall true rainforests; the conifer-dominated forests in the extremely wet coastal areas of the American Pacific Northwest are temperate evergreen forest ecosystems. Therefore, to avoid conveying misleading climatic information, the term rainforest is now preferred over rain forest.

This section covers only the richest of rainforests—the tropical rainforests of the ever-wet tropics.
