Concept in Definition ABC

The jungle is one of the biomes easier to identify on the planet due to its abundant vegetation, its incredible variety of flora and fauna, at its tropical temperatures and the very high production of oxygen that collaborates with the purification of the atmosphere. The jungle is characterized in most cases by having significant levels of humidity, caused by high rainfall and by the presence of water courses. Water that cross the different terrestrial spaces. Today, the preservation of tropical forests (mainly those of the Amazon) is of great importance to maintain the weather of globe and the level of oxygen in the atmosphere.

Original from Latin (silva or silua), the term jungle is related to the notion of the wild state. The jungle receives, therefore, its name from the conditions of its nature: practically virgin and not altered by the presence of the human being. The jungles are characterized primarily by the presence of dense and tall trees that vary in type according to the regions of the planet that are being talked about. At the same time, a fundamental element of the jungle is its soaring

biodiversity or variety of flora and fauna. This means that within the same space you can find thousands of plant and animal species that are hardly found in other biomes.

In general, the jungle is characteristic of tropical and subtropical climates, with temperatures (between 27 ° and 29 ° C), levels of humidity (high) and rainfall (between 1500 and 2000 mm per year) particular and clearly distinguishable from the rest of the ecosystems planetariums. Perhaps one of the most abundant and dense biomes on the planet, the rainforest is closely related to the production of oxygen and the consumption of carbon dioxide, for which they are essential to maintain conditions suitable for the subsistence of living beings on planet Earth. However, one of the poorest elements of the jungle is the I usually: this is poor, acidic and not very deep.

Although humid (or umbrophilic) forests are the most common and extensive on the planet, there are also dry forests (or trophilous) that are characterized by having a lower level of rainfall, less abundant vegetation and a long season dry.
