Hammocks are dense stands of hardwood trees that grow on natural rises of only a few inches in the land. Hammocks are distinctive in that they are formed gradually over thousands of years rising in a wet area through the deposits of their own decomposing organic material. As a result they typically have a large and diverse density of various forms of plant and animal life.
