Agriculture in the Amazon Rainforest Throughout a hundred centuries people have worked hard to sustain productive agriculture and dense human populations. Certain forms of agriculture are possible‚ and should be considered sustainable‚ for the economic development of tropical rainforests. For thousands of years humans have created a disturbance in the rainforests by creating areas of concentrated diversity of species within the landscape. The Indigenous people of the Amazon fostered palm forests

soil this could affect stability in places like the desert. Also shallow roots would prevent the uptake of much needed water and other nutrients that are hard to find in the desert biomes. The finding adaptation of drip tip leaves outside of the rainforest biome is unlikely. The point of drip tip leaves is to remove moisture and rainfall from leaves of plants‚ keeping them dry. This would be particularly unbeneficial to desert biomes due to the lack of rainfall. If plants in this biome contained

trees in the rainforest are so tall and dense that the forest is described as being composed of five different vertical layers. The uppermost layer is the emergent layer and consists of a few trees that can reach up to seventy meters off the forest floor. This layer has access to sunlight which is beneficial for the trees‚ but the trees must also be adapted to withstand intense heat from the sun and high temperatures. The next layer is the canopy‚ which is also known as the rainforest roof‚ and forms

There are two types of rainforest biomes: tropical and temperate. Tropical rainforests are found near the equator and are moist and hot all year round. The climate in this biome is very humid‚ maintaining a high humidity of 77% to 88% all year round‚ due to the frequent rainfall. The rainfall is all year round and receive annual precipitation amounts from 60 to 160 inches. There is little to no seasonal changes in weather.
