My project was over the tropical rainforest biome. The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees in a region of year-round warmth. An average of 50-260 inches (125-660) cm of rain falls yearly. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100-300 species in one 2 ½ acre area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest are trees. There are a couple of topics that can be discussed within this biome such as
