Humidity in rainforests is high and temperatures can reach from seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit to eighty-six degrees Fahrenheit. The rainforest has a warm, moist climate. The top layer of the rainforest is the canopy layer, which has tress standing sixty to one hundred and fifty feet tall.
The main plants in the rainforest biome are trees. In tropical rain forests, the climate is very humid. It is humid in rainforests because of all the rainfall. The approximate amount of annual rainfall is ninety-eight feet per year with room for decrease and increase. This is a lot of annual rain compared to regular forests. Hence the name "rainforest-.
Two of many plants that grow in tropical and rainy environments are the Bengal bamboo and the orchid. These plants grow naturally in rainforests, though they can be cultivated. Rainforests have just the right balance to keep these two plants alive.
There are more than 20,000 varieties of orchids found in the rainforest. Orchids grow in a lot of places. Some of which are: tree branches, tree trunks, and rocks. These plants can also be different colors such as: magenta, purple, yellow, and more.
The Bengal bamboo is found in rainforests as well. Its scientific name is bambus tulda. The Bengal bamboo can get as tall as forty to eighty feet. It is approximately three feet in diameter when it is fully matured. It has leaves of a green color and the blades of the plant fall off when these leaves have matured.
This bamboo can be found in the biome of the Southeast Asian rainforest. The Bengal bamboo grows in mostly warm, moist climates. This bamboo can also stand temperatures from as low as forty degrees Fahrenheit to one hundred degrees Fahrenheit.
.
The Bengal bamboo is beneficial to the rainforest because it reduces soil erosion. This helps especially because rainforests are disappearing at the rate of 80 acres a minute. The Bengal bamboo is not on the endangered species list; therefore, it may help rainforests out for many years to come.

Introduction In this report I am going to discuss the adaptations of 3 plants groups: xerophytes, hydrophytes and mesophytes relating to plant water balance and I will discuss how these adaptations allow the plant to survive in it's ecological niche. An ecological niche can be defined as the way of life of an organism in it's ecosystem, which allow it to survive and live successfully. 1Each of the three plant groups listed above have different ecological niches for example: xerophytes are able to survive in dry and humid conditions such as deserts, mesophytes can survive in habitats ...
