Home›Tropical Rainforest›Biome TypeBrowse ByBiome TypeThis dimension links an ecosystem to the broader biome type it belongs to.

Browsing by biome type groups ecosystems that share the same broad physical setting.FactsBiome TypeSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonWWF Biome RealmWell-attestedTerrestrial 1Biome TypeFilter Results2 entriesBiogeographic RealmAllAfrotropic (1)Australasian (1)Indomalayan (2)Neotropic (1)Where It Is (Continent or Country)AllArgentina (1)Australia (1)Bhutan (1)Bolivia (1)Brazil (1)Brunei (1)Cameroon (1)Central African Republic (1)China (1)Colombia (1)Democratic Republic of the Congo (1)Ecuador (1)Equatorial Guinea (1)Gabon (1)Guyana (1)India (2)Indonesia (1)Madagascar (1)Malaysia (1)Nepal (1)Panama (1)Papua New Guinea (1)Paraguay (1)Peru (1)Republic of the Congo (1)Suriname (1)Venezuela (1)Protected StatusAllManaged or Multiple-Use Protection (1)Partially Protected (2)Strictly Protected (1)SizeAll112,100 to 350,000 sq km (1)15,000 to 106,629.5 sq km (1)2,000,000 to 335,000,000 sq km (1)371,000 to 1,710,000 sq km (2)543 to 13,605 sq km (1)Annual Precipitation (mm)All2000 (1)2500 (1)Annual Precipitation BandAllVery Wet (1)RealmAllTerrestrial (1)Typical High Temperature (C)All30 (2)Typical Low Temperature (C)All-2 (1)20 (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareMontane Grasslands and ShrublandsBiome Type1 entryTropical RainforestBiome Type12 entriesSources1.
