This climate is considered tropical wet with temperatures between 68°F to 93°F and an annual precipitation of 50-260 inches. There is often a short season of less rain, or sometimes in areas with monsoon seasons, a short period of no rain. The soil contains very little nutrients because the trees quickly absorb all the nutrition out of the ground. A great amount of sunlight reaches the upper canopies, but very little sunlight filters down to the understory and forest floor. These are all characteristics of the _______ biome.
The description fits a tropical rainforest: it is warm year-round, receives very high annual rainfall, and has dense tree canopies that block sunlight from reaching the forest floor. Its soil is often nutrient-poor because plants rapidly absorb available nutrients. Therefore, the correct choice is “rainforest.”
