What Makes Tropical Rainforest Different

Tropical rainforest has special characteristics which distinguishes it from other forests. Tropical rainforest has tall stems. It's leafy too, because every year the rainforest gets sunlight that makes the trees can grow optimally. High and consistent rainfall every year are the reason why the land of the tropical rainforest saves more water reverses than the other forests. The evaporating of the water of the leafs to the atmosphere makes the level of air humidity increase. Provided that the tropical rainforest is too leafy, the sunlight can not reach the bottom of the forest. The water on the ground do not evaporate. The moist ground makes many mosses and fungi grow rapidly. Tropical rainforest can regenerate trees by themselves. If a tree has blown up by a wind, it will make some space for sunlight to reach the bottom of the rainforest. This condition causes the growing of bushes and sapling, becoming a tall tree in the future. All those special phenomenon can be found only in the tropical rain forest.
