In addition to rainforests--coral reefs. Over-fishing, pollution, and warming are negatively impacting the reefs in many parts of the world.

Difference between rainforest and which one? \nProbably the habitat, no. of trophic levels

The rain forest has more rain and humidity, and less temperature extremes.

It is called a rain forest because at the end of the day you will find that it will always rain. The sun heats the earth and warms the air above it. As it rises it cools and forms clouds. By the time this has happened it is the end of the day and it starts to pour down. The sun only heats the earth to a temperature high enough near the equator because that part is nearest the sun. You won't find this happening anywhere else except the equator and so you don't find tropical rainforests anywhere esle.

The question is not clear. Are you refering to ecological sub-systems with the rainforest?\nRainforests are the most complex of ecosystems, both in terms of structural complexity (several vertical layers, etc.) and in terms of interelationships and functions. \nSome of the sub-systems of the rainforest (although there is no clear separation between them) are the canopy, the underbrush, and the leaf litter levels. All of those are disturbed (destroyed, more likely) by deforestation. All the arboreal habitats just disappear, to be replaced (more or less slowly) by secondary-growth forest, which is much thicker and comprises different species (mostly opportunist species that grow rapidly once a clearing opens); and the leaf litter system (comprising most of the detritivore food web) is also destroyed because the ground level is exposed to direct sunlight and evaporation, as well as the erosive effects of rain.

Tropical and temperate rain forests have been subjected to heavy logging and agricultural clearance throughout the 20th century and the area covered by rainforests around the world is rapidly shrinking. It is estimated that the rainforest was reduced by about 58,000 km² annually in the 1990s. Rainforests used to cover 14% of the Earth's surface. This percentage is now down to 6% and it is estimated by some that the remaining natural rainforests could disappear within 40 years (mid-21st century). Biologists have estimated that large numbers of species are being driven to extinction, possibly more than 50,000 a year, due to the removal of habitat with destruction of the rain forests. Protection and regeneration of the rainforests is a key goal of many environmental charities and organisations, including EcologyFund and the Nature Conservancy.

hey, go to www.Wikipedia.com   type in "Renewable Resources of the Rainforest"  it will give u thousands of things to pick from. Wikipedia is the best for homework and research. Good Luck.

Rainforests sure get a lot...hence their name!\nAlso, amazingly, deserts get a lot of flash floods!\nHope I helped

rainforests contain a large portion of flora and fauna species. Some have yet to be discovered. Think of rainforests as the most biodiverse areas of the world. Now consider that 95% of our medicines are derived from plants, and you can see that rainforests are essential to a biodiverse planet such as  earth. Also, there are some people still living in rainforests, so it would be natural for them to place importance on their food, shelter and way of life.

Despite their uniqueness and extraordinary value, tropical rain forests are being destroyed and badly degraded at an unsustainable rate. Some scientists estimate that in the early 1990s tropical forests were being destroyed at a rate of approximately 28 hectares (70 acres) a minute, or about 14 million hectares (35 million acres) each year—an area about the size of the state of Wisconsin. This figure marked a decrease since the 1980s, when approximately 16 million hectares (40 million acres) were destroyed each year, largely due to a reported decline of deforestation in the Amazon River basin in the early 1990s. However, satellite images indicate that rates may have rebounded in the late 1990s as burning in the Amazon increased again. Over the past three decades alone, about 5 million sq km (about 2 million sq mi)—or 20 percent of the world’s tropical forests—have been cleared. During this time, deforestation in tropical Asia reached almost 30 percent. High rates of deforestation are inevitably followed by alarming rates of plant and animal extinction because many rain forest species cannot survive outside their pristine rain forest habitat. Some scientists estimate that dozens of rain forest species are becoming extinct every day.

It depends on the place of the planet where the tropical rain forest is located.  I am from Tortuguero, Costa Rica, and the biggest plants on that tropical rain forest are Almendros, Caobas and Cedros beside a lot of differents ones that nobody knows the names.  In English?? I dont know...

Tropical Rain Forest riddled with reminders of how many trees are being cut down every minute.\n\nToo political?\n\nHooters.
