why the dense forests of Congo basins remain green throughout the year?
Answers
Explanation:
Rainforest of the Congo Basin share many characteristics with the Amazon rainforest and other tropical forests worldwide: high diversity, dense vegetation, and multiple layers of forest structure. The forest canopy is usually about 30 meters tall, with emergent trees such as the great maobi reaching up to 50-60 meters. The most humid, western portions of the Congo basin forests remain evergreen throughout the year, while interior forests are semi-deciduous, and many species drop leaves for short periods of time. Peripheral forests of the Congo basin with less precipitation become even more deciduous, although trees usually grow foliage on some branches before other branches lose their leaves.

The forest of Congo basins remain green as the forest is located near the equator,and the equatorial regions receive massive rainfall throughout the year,whether summer or winter.Moreover,the trees there are very tall refusing the sunlight to to reach to the forest floor.
