The Ecology of Trees in the Tropical Rain Forest – The Tropical rain forest is one of the major vegetation types of the globe (Richards 1996; Whitmore 1998). It is an essentially equatorial and strongly hygrophilous biome as its name suggests and is found on all the continents that the tropics touch.
Tropical rain forest is defined physiognomic Ally with typical features being a closed, evergreen canopy of 25 m or more in height dominated by mesophyll-sized leaves, with an abundance of thick-stemmed woody climbers and both herbaceous and woody epiphytes.

About The Author
Gardening has been the greatest adventure in my life. I began at the age of five working with my mother in her garden and in my grandmother’s garden to feed the other 5 children and Dad because we were poor. By the age of 6, I hated gardening. But the one thing I loved was Flowers.
Yet throughout the years I began to admire both Mother and Grandmother for all their efforts and hard labor. I finally fell in love with nature and the magic of what gardening can actually be to those who love to create them.
As you may know or do not know there are many types of gardening and I absolutely love them all. I have created this website not just for me but for you as well. A place where you can learn and create your own gardens to your taste.
This is a Membership website – I wish this to be not only a learning site but one where we can exchange thoughts and information as well explore all the different gardening techniques.
The membership costs are only $19 per month and will give you a great adventure into the works of all types of Gardening. I look forward to meeting all of you that join. We are going to have a Blast.
Warmest Regards, Coyalita
