Tropical Rainforests, such as the Amazon, are found near the equator in Central and South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Australia. The tropical rainforest floor layer, or forest floor, is the ground layer of this biome. It lies beneath the emergent, canopy and understory layers, which is the reason why almost no sunlight reaches this area. As you read the facts below, you will learn what animals live at this layer, the flora found there, what the conditions are like, and why this layer is so important. The information is presented in a simple list format where both adults and kids will appreciate the interesting facts.
