Rainforest Plants

Air under the canopy is almost always humid. Trees out of water through leaf pores (stomata). The evaporation process is called transpiration. This evaporation causes half of rainfall in the rainforest. Rainforest plants do a lot of adaptation to the environment. With high rainfall, plants adapted to pass water from their leaves quickly so the branches of the plant are not overburdened.

Rainforest plants

 
Many plants have drip edge and groove leaves, and some leaves have oily coatings to shed water. Wide leaves are used to absorb as much sunlight as possible. Some trees have leaf stalks that change with the movement of the sun so they always absorb the maximum amount of light.


Leaves in the canopy is characterized by dark green, small and rugged to reduce water loss under strong sunlight. Some trees grow leaves wide at the lower level and grow small leaves in the canopy above. Other plants growing in the canopy to get sunlight. The plants are epiphytes such as orchids and bromeliads.

More than 2,500 species of vines grow in the rain forest. Liana grew from a small shrub that grows on the forest floor, it shoots grow to reach the tree and reach the sunlight above the canopy. Vines grow from one tree to another and make up 40% of the leaf canopy. Wicker wine has a thorn in the bottom of the leaves are pointing to the back as a handle saplings.

 

There is no dominant species in the tropical rainforest. Trees of the same species are very rarely found growing close together. Biodiversity and species separation prevents mass contamination and death of disease or because of the growth of insects. Biodiversity also ensures that there will be enough pollen to take care of the needs of each species. Animals depend on plants as a flower-fruit food supply throughout the year.
