亚马孙热带雨林号称地球的肺,亚马孙河及其支流是肺管,热带雨林生态系统分布在赤道南北的热带界线内,是地球上面积最大、对人类生存环境影响最大的森林生态系统.常分为三个区域:南美洲亚马孙平原;非洲热带雨林地区和印度一马来热带雨林区.热带雨林生态系统气候的主要特征是全年温度高而温差小,雨量充沛而均匀.年均气温20~28℃,不同地点的平均温度变化非常小.在赤道附近,最热、最冷月平均温差小于5℃;离赤道越远温差加大,最大也不超过13℃.各地年降水量最少有2000毫米,多的可达1万毫米.相对湿度很高,有的可达90%以上.热带雨林生态系统物种组成极为丰富,绝大部分是木本植物,高等植物有45 000种以上.层次复杂,通常简化为乔木、灌木和草本三个层次;又可分为三个亚层,所以一般可分为5~8层.该生态系统中还有大量藤本植物和附生植物.热带雨林生态系统能量流动和物质循环等生态过程速率都很高,生产力也特别高,与之相伴的呼吸消耗量也很大,土壤中元素的积累相对较少.在热带雨林生态系统物质循环过程中,与植物根共生的真菌发挥了积极作用.
The Amazon rainforest is known as the lungs of the earth. The Amazon River and its tributaries are the lung tubes. The tropical rainforest ecosystem is distributed within the tropical boundary between the north and south of the equator. It is the largest forest ecosystem on the earth and has the greatest impact on the human living environment. It is often divided into three regions: the Amazon Plain in South America; the tropical rainforest area in Africa and the Indian-Malay tropical rainforest area. The main characteristics of the climate of the tropical rainforest ecosystem are high temperature and small temperature difference throughout the year, and abundant and uniform rainfall. The average annual temperature is 20-28℃, and the average temperature changes in different places are very small. Near the equator, the average temperature difference between the hottest and coldest months is less than 5℃; the farther away from the equator, the greater the temperature difference, and the maximum does not exceed 13℃. The annual precipitation in various places is at least 2,000 mm, and as much as 10,000 mm. The relative humidity is very high, and some can reach more than 90%. The species composition of the tropical rainforest ecosystem is extremely rich, most of which are woody plants, and there are 45 higher plants. There are more than 000 species. The layers are complex and usually simplified into three layers: trees, shrubs and herbs; they can also be divided into three sub-layers, so they can generally be divided into 5 to 8 layers. There are also a large number of vines and epiphytes in this ecosystem. The rates of ecological processes such as energy flow and material circulation in tropical rainforest ecosystems are very high, and the productivity is also particularly high. The accompanying respiratory consumption is also very large, and the accumulation of elements in the soil is relatively small. In the material circulation process of tropical rainforest ecosystems, fungi that coexist with plant roots play an active role.
The Amazon rainforest, known as the "lungs of the earth", crosses 8 countries and covers an area of 7 million square kilometers, accounting for half of the world's rainforest area and 20% of the global forest area
1. Regulate the climate of nature.
2. Prevent soil erosion on the ground.
3. Effectively purify the air of the earth.
4. Ensure the circulation of the biosphere, making the species on the earth more diverse, and even leading to the continuous emergence of many new species. It is this change that makes our earth's species richer.
The Amazon rainforest is the lungs of the earth and should be protected
