lush rainforests
Dense tropical woodlands
Lush rainforests are dense tropical or subtropical forests characterized by abundant rainfall, towering canopy layers, and extraordinary biodiversity.
The phrase is nearly fixed—rainforests are so consistently described as lush that the combination has become a stock expression: The documentary featured lush rainforests teeming with wildlife.
Lush emphasizes the verdant, overgrown quality of these ecosystems.
