Equatorial living community
A tropical ecosystem is a biological community in regions near the equator, characterized by warm temperatures year-round and high biodiversity.
Tropical ecosystems include rainforests, savannas, and coral reefs.
The Amazon basin contains the world's largest tropical ecosystem.
These environments support an extraordinary density of plant and animal species but face pressure from deforestation and climate change.
