Richard Pott, . (2011) Tropical rainforests and forest degradation: the global loss of biodiversity. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Evolving over millennia tropical forests are one of the greatest storehouses of nature;s diversity on earth. Tropical Rainforests in the world can be found in three major ecozones. Firstly large areas exist along the equator between SON and S in areas which are affected by convection in the inner tropical convergence zone. The absence of pronounced seasons enables the establishment of the richest of all tropical plant communities the lowland evergreen Rainforests in the Amazon/Orinoco-area in Congo catchment in South-East-Asia and on many of the Pacific Islands. Some examples are given from the Australian tropical rainforests in Daintree/Queensland.
