• High temperature and abundant rainfall support a luxuriant tropical rain forest. In the Amazon lowlands, the forest is so dense that it is called ‘selvas’. [selvas: A dense tropical rainforest usually having a cloud cover (dense canopy)].
• Unlike the temperate regions, the growing season here is all the year round-seeding, flowering, fruiting and decaying not take place in a seasonal pattern.
