Also, how are the leaves of Tropical rainforest different from those of deciduous trees.
Dear
I think the amount of energy in tropical forest is high and this energy is multi layer which can accept the deferent kind of species that use of deferent resources located in several layers.
The greater length of daylight and more water means more plants or autotrophs which form the base of the food web. More plants means more herbivores which means more carnivores. the leaves respond to water differently in drier climates. there is a waxy layer called a cuticle which would be more hydrophobic in rainforests in response to being inundated with water all the time.
Edit: also in tropical rainforest that trees keep their leaves year round whereas in temperate deciduous forest trees shed their leaves every Fall.
Why are deciduous forests poor in species compared to tropical rainforests?
