The trees not found in the equatorial region is
Answers
Answer:
In equatorial regions, the year round high temperatures and abundant rainfall support plant growth all year round. These areas usually have equatorial rainforests. These forests have very dense vegetation. Many different types of trees and other plants can be found growing in a relatively small area of rainforest. More species of plant can be found in a rainforest than in other type of plant community. Four square miles of rainforest may contain as many as 750 species of tree and 1,500 species of flowering plant. Rainforests cover only about 6 percent of the Earth’s surface. However, they contain about half of the world’s known animal species and provide about 40% of the world’s oxygen.
There are several layers of vegetation in a rainforest. The uppermost layer is made up of the crowns of the tallest trees. These trees are known as emergents. They are much taller than most trees in the rainforest and their crowns are exposed to the direct sunlight. Some trees such as the kapok may reach heights greater than 200 feet (61 meters).
The next layer is known as the canopy. The crowns of the trees in this layer are about 20 meters (about 65 feet) to 40 meters (about 130 feet) high. The crowns of the trees in this layer are tightly packed together forming a nearly unbroken cover for the forest floor. If you were looking down on a section of the rainforest from above, you would not be able to see the ground. Because of the cover provided by the canopy, very little sunlight reaches the lower layers of the rainforest.
Below the canopy is another layer known as the understory. Trees in this layer are only a few meters high. Here one can find trees which only grow to about 15 meters at maturity as well as young saplings which will eventually grow to reach the canopy. Sunlight here is limited.
Between the understory and the forest floor lies the shrub layer. It is composed of small plants such as ferns and small shrubs. Only about 1% or 2% of sunlight reaches this layer. Therefore, few plants are able to thrive there. The few plants which grow here must be able to tolerate low light conditions. It is easy to walk through the rainforest because the area near ground level is relatively free of vegetation. The diagram below shows the layers of the rainforest.
