Tree 088

Tropical trees are tree species that grow in regions near the equator, where temperatures remain warm year-round and seasonal variation is limited. These trees are most commonly found in tropical rainforests, monsoon forests, and tropical savannas. They include a wide range of species with diverse forms, leaf types, and growth habits.

Many tropical trees are evergreen, retaining their leaves throughout the year, while others shed leaves during dry seasons. Broad leaves are common, often with pointed drip tips that help shed excess rain. Tropical trees grow in highly competitive environments and may develop tall, straight trunks to reach sunlight above the forest canopy.

Ecologically, tropical trees are essential to global biodiversity, supporting complex ecosystems and playing a major role in carbon storage and climate regulation. They also provide valuable resources such as timber, fruit, resins, and medicinal compounds, making them vital to both natural systems and human societies.
