Study Notes
Nutrient Cycle in Tropical Rainforests
- Nutrient storage: Nutrients are primarily stored in plants.
- Decomposition process: Dead plants decompose rapidly, releasing nutrients.
- Nutrient uptake: Plants absorb these released nutrients.
- Continuous cycle: This creates a continuous cycle, with nutrients constantly being recycled.
Tropical Rainforest Climate
- Temperature: Temperatures are consistently warm, generally between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius.
- Humidity: High humidity throughout the year.
- Seasons: No distinct seasons, unlike temperate regions.
