Forests dominated by tree species such as myrtle ( Nothofagus cunninghami) sassafras ( Atherosperma moschatum), celery top pine ( Phyllocladus aspleniifolius), leatherwood ( Eucryphia lucida), and blackwood ( Acacia melanoxylon), in which eucalypts comprise less than 5% of the crown cover. It generally occurs in areas with high rainfall.
Generally, a forest that grows in a region of heavy annual precipitation. There are both tropical and temperate rainforests.
the dense tropical forest that grows in the the hot, tropical regions of the world -- where there is always heavy rainfall.
Forests that develop in areas with high rainfall
Forest that occurs in an area of high rainfall. Rainforests are usually found near the sea or in mountainous regions that receive a great deal of rain. Tropical forests are generally rainforests.

a gigantic tropical forest with many living things and is sometimes known as a jungle
A forested region typified by rainfall in excess of 80 inches per year and a high density of plant and animal species.
is an evergreen woodland of the tropics distinguished by a continuous leaf canopy and an average rainfall of about 100 inches per year. Rainforests play an important role in the global environment for several reasons. They are the most biologically diverse biome on the planet, encompassing just 6-7% of Earth's land, but thought to house nearly half of its species. Rainforests also take up carbon dioxide, helping to balance anthropogenic emissions. When rainforests are cut or burned, the opposite occurs: they release stored carbon dioxide, adding to the greenhouse effect.
A large forest that stays warm and wet year round with many different kinds of animals and plants. Also called a jungle.
Luxuriant forest, generally composed of tall, broad-leaved trees and usually found in wet tropical uplands and lowlands around the Equator.
a large, dense forest in a hot, humid region (tropical or subtropical). Rainforests have an abundance of diverse plant and animal life, much of which is still uncatalogued by the scientific community.
A forest with high humidity, constant temperature, and abundant rainfall (generally over 380 cm [150 in] per year); can be tropical or temperate.
Rainforests are very dense, relatively warm, wet forests. They are havens for millions of plants and animals.
rainforests, both temperate and tropical, are dominated by trees often forming a closed canopy with little light reaching the ground. Epiphytes and climbing plants are also abundant. Precipitation is typically not limiting, but may be somewhat seasonal. rainforests, both temperate and tropical, are dominated by trees often forming a closed canopy with little light reaching the ground.
