What you'll learn
Each question helps you build key knowledge and skills.
- 1Global biomes are distributed in bands related to latitude and climate, with tropical rainforests near the equator and deserts often found around 30 degrees north and south.
- 2Tropical rainforests have a hot, wet climate all year round, with temperatures around 27 degrees Celsius and rainfall often over 2000mm annually, which supports very high biodiversity.
- 3Nutrient cycling in a rainforest is fast because warm, wet conditions cause quick decomposition, but most nutrients are stored in the vegetation rather than the soil, which is often quite thin.
- 4Deforestation for farming, logging and mining reduces biodiversity, disrupts the water cycle and can increase soil erosion and flooding.
- 5Sustainable management strategies, such as selective logging, replanting and ecotourism, try to balance using rainforest resources with protecting the ecosystem for the future.
