Tropical Rainforest Plants - Tropical Rainforest is a complex society is a place that provides a tree of any size. In this book the term canopy is used as a general to explain the whole plant communities on earth. In different micro climates in the canopy with the outside; less light, high humidity and lower temperatures. Many of the smaller trees growing in the shade of larger trees in this microclimate growth occurs. At the top of the tree forms and the microclimate of the canopy coverage of the growth of various types of other plants: climbers, epiphytes, strangling, plant parasites, and saprophytes.
Trees and most of the other plants rooted in the ground and absorb nutrients and water. The leaves are deciduous leaves, twigs, branches, and other parts are available; food for a host of invertebrate animals, which is important as termites, also for fungi and bacteria. Nutrients are returned to the soil through decomposition of parts that fall and by leaching from the leaves by rain water. It is characteristic of tropical rain forest most of the warehouse a total nutrients in plants; relatively small in the store in the ground.
In the forest canopy, especially in the lowland forest, there lived an animal with a broad scope, vertebrate animals and invertebrates, some of which eat parts of plants, animals consuming. Complex reciprocal relationships exist between plants and animals, for example, in relation to flower pollination and seed dispersal. Some plants, called myrmecophytes, providing shelter for ants in the modified organ. Many plants, produce chemicals poisonous to many insects and the ways to protect themselves from predation.
Overall organic society and the physical and chemical environment together a basic ecosystem in the tropical rain forest. If part of the forest is degraded, plants (and animals) opening gap, others swarmed with competition; there is a secondary succession of plant communities cereals, to quickly become a society that is similar to the original as before. It's called "Climax". On open ground, for example, occurred in 1963 by the eruption of Mount Agong in Bali, a primary succession, or prisere, happens also to climax.
Synusiae
A synusia is a group of plants of similar life forms fill the same niche and a similar role in the community where a separate form ( Richards 1952) ; It is a form of community life separate .Synusiae provide material for analyzing a complex plant communities . Richards (1952 ) has introduced a practical classification for the tropical rain forest synusiae :
A. Plants autotrophic ( with grain green leaf )
1 . Mechanical Plant Independent( a) tree and treelets ;
( B ) herbaceous .
2 . Dependent Mechanical Plant
( a) the climber ;
( B ) the Strangler ;
( C ) epiphytes ( including semi - parasitic epiphytes ) .
B. Plant heterotrophic ( without grains green leaf ) .
1 . Saprophytes .2 . Parasites .
Very different kinds of taxonomic relationships compose synusiae . As with any form of life that belongs to the general , many also have a very similar physiognomy . Presentation of Relatively know about the different ecological groups in a variety of tropical rain forest formation is an important definition of them . They are representative of the entire lowland rain forests of tropical green . Synusiae occurs throughout the tropics anywhere Formation is found .
