Rainforests are located near the equator where the sun's direct rays cause high evaporation and continuous rainfall. Temperatures in rainforests stay consistently warm and humid. Common plants include trees, shrubs, mangroves, strangler figs, and crops such as tomatoes, rice and coconuts. Animals include monkeys, frogs, butterflies, beetles, snakes and chimpanzees, though many species are threatened. Strangler figs derive their name from how they grow around and strangle other trees. Over half the world's rainforests are located in Latin America due to the region's proximity to the equator.

Tropical Rain Forest
Tropical rainforests are located along the equator where temperatures and humidity are high. They receive between 4-8 meters of rain per year. The largest rainforests are found in Central and South America, Southeast Asia, and West Africa. Tropical rainforests are at risk of destruction due to human activity, with over half of the original forests already destroyed. The biodiversity of these forests is high, containing many species of plants and animals, some of which may provide cures for human diseases.

Tropical rainforests are located near the equator in regions like South America, Africa, Australia, India, and Southeast Asia. They have warm, wet climates with little temperature variation year-round and receive heavy rainfall averaging around 1000mm per day. Rainforests contain a diverse array of plant and animal life including many species of mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, and amphibians that interact within complex food webs.
Rainforest Plants
The document discusses the variety of plant life found in tropical rainforests. It notes that rainforests contain over half the world's plant species due to abundant rainfall and sunshine. The major plants are tall trees that create a canopy up to 100 feet high and hold many epiphytic plants like orchids, bromeliads and ferns. Vines called lianas are also important, and pitcher plants trap insects. While rainforests once covered 14% of the planet, deforestation has reduced this to 6%. Rainforest plants provide valuable foods, medicines, and produce one-fifth of the world's oxygen supply.
Rainforest Importance
The document discusses the goods and services provided by tropical rainforests, including oxygen production, biodiversity, and origins of foods and medicines. It notes that rainforests once covered 14% of land but now only 6%, and are being destroyed at a rate of 1.5 acres per second. This is causing massive species loss estimated at 50,000 species per year. Tropical rainforests support important ecosystem services and are biodiversity hotspots, home to over half the world's species in a very small area of the planet.

The tropical rain forest can be found in three major geographical areas around the world. It has four distinct layers - emergent, upper canopy, understory, and forest floor. There are several types of rainforests defined by location and climate factors. Rainforests have a warm, humid climate with high rainfall. They provide many benefits but are threatened by habitat loss, climate change, and other environmental impacts. Conservation efforts include programs like REDD that use carbon credits to incentivize forest protection.
Amazon rainforest
The document provides an overview of the Amazon rainforest, including its location, structure, climate, inhabitants, resources, importance, threats from deforestation, and conservation efforts. Specifically, it notes that the rainforest spans many South American and African countries near the equator, contains many layers of vegetation up to 70 meters tall, has a warm, humid climate without distinct seasons, and is an important source of oxygen, water, minerals, and biodiversity for the planet. However, deforestation from agriculture, logging, pollution, and other abuses threatens this critical ecosystem, though some national parks like Manu's Park in Brazil are working to protect endangered species and rescue the rainforest.

Tropical rainforest
A tropical rainforest has a very humid and warm climate year-round with constant rain. It consists of multiple layers including the forest floor, understory, canopy layer, and emergent layer. Tropical rainforests range from lowland forests with less rainfall to cloud forests that are very lush and contain different plant and animal life. Soil in tropical rainforests is low in nutrients but plants store nutrients from decay around their roots.
Sec 1 Chapter 3 Tropical Rainforests
Tropical rainforests are found between latitudes 20° N and 20° S, in areas that experience high rainfall and temperatures throughout the year. The main tropical rainforest regions are the Amazon Basin in South America, the Congo Basin in Africa, and Southeast Asia. Tropical rainforests provide important ecosystem services like producing oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide, housing biodiversity, and supplying timber and medical resources. However, deforestation threatens these forests and the people and environment that depend on them.
Tropical rain forest
Tropical rainforests are located in hot and wet equatorial regions with heavy rainfall, such as Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, and the Pacific Islands. The vegetation forms a dense canopy with various layers and includes hardwood trees, shrubs, vines, and mosses. These regions experience a hot and humid climate with rainfall throughout the year, supporting the growth of the rich biodiversity found within, including many monkeys, apes, birds, snakes, insects, and large cats.

Rainforests are dense, wet environments that receive at least 100 inches of rain annually. They contain a vast diversity of plant and animal species, including elephants, monkeys, snakes, frogs, and tigers. Within the rainforest food chain, small animals prey on plants and vines, and are then preyed upon by larger carnivores until reaching apex predators. Rainforests are located between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, with the largest being the Amazon rainforest in South America. Tigers are a threatened species that inhabit rainforests and other areas, hunting deer and boar but also eating plants. They rarely have large litters and cubs play fight to prepare for life.

Rainforests are found near the Earth's equator in South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. They have hot temperatures around 80 degrees and receive heavy rainfall, around 6 inches per month. This climate allows dense vegetation to grow, including many tall tree species. Rainforests are home to a diverse array of animal species, both in the canopy layer and on the forest floor. Some of the notable animals that live in rainforests include orangutans, jaguars, toucans, and poison dart frogs. Indigenous tribes still inhabit some rainforest areas and rely on the forest's resources for survival. Rainforests are considered essential due to the many species they support, their provision of natural medicines and
Tropical Rainforest
A typical patch of rainforest contains over 1,500 flowering plants, 750 tree species, 400 bird species and 150 butterfly species. Rainforests provide important resources like medicines, timber, and food, with 70% of plants used to treat cancer found exclusively in rainforests. More than 1 billion people depend on forests for survival. Deforestation is one of the leading causes of climate change, with a football field of rainforest destroyed every second due to unsustainable agriculture and ranching practices like cattle ranching. By 2030, only 10% of tropical rainforests are projected to remain if deforestation continues at its current rate, resulting in the loss of hundreds of thousands of species.
Tropical forest (By: J.Q)
Tropical rainforests have high biodiversity and receive abundant rainfall. They regulate the Earth's climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. Rainforests are found between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn and have warm temperatures year-round. They can be divided into four layers - emergent, upper canopy, lower canopy, and forest floor. While rainforests cover only a small portion of the Earth's surface, they are home to most of its plant and animal species. The largest threats to rainforests are deforestation through logging and mining activities, which degrade habitat and increase greenhouse gases.

It also covers the different layers of the rainforest - emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor - and the types of animals found in each layer. Finally, it discusses why rainforest plants and animals are often brightly colored.
Rainforest =]
Rainforests are home to 50% of the world's plants and animals and receive between 160-400 inches of rain per year. They provide natural resources and help humans breathe by producing oxygen. Cutting down the rainforest is reducing habitat for many animals, some of which scientists have yet to discover, and is contributing to extinction. Simple everyday actions like using cold water, recycling, turning down heat, and avoiding unnecessary electronics can help conserve natural resources and save the rainforest. The rainforest is being cut down at an alarming rate of one football field every second.

Rain forest
Tropical rainforests are located in the tropics near the equator and are characterized by tall trees, warm climates, and heavy rainfall. They receive at least 80 inches of rain per year and have a dense canopy layer of treetops that is home to most plant and animal life. Rainforests contain high levels of biodiversity and many species that interact symbiotically. They are being destroyed at an alarming rate due to human activities like logging, agriculture, and development. Saving the remaining rainforests will require global efforts to protect these vital ecosystems.
Tropical rainforests
Tropical rainforests have several key characteristics:
1) They contain many trees and have a warm, wet climate with high rainfall.
2) They are home to a vast diversity of species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and plants.
3) Many species have adaptations that allow them to thrive in the rainforest habitat, such as camouflage coloring, large beaks, or slow movement.
Rainforest habitat
The document describes key features of tropical rainforest habitats. It notes that rainforests receive extremely high amounts of rainfall annually, produce 40% of the world's oxygen, and harbor over half of the planet's animal species despite covering less than 6% of the Earth's land. The dense vegetation blocks out sunlight at ground level and plants grow in layered strata. Examples of emergent, canopy, and understory plant species are provided, as well as details about some common rainforest animal inhabitants like toucans, spider monkeys, and jaguars. The passage concludes by outlining different defense mechanisms used by rainforest wildlife, such as camouflage, intimidating displays, and warning coloration.
Tundra Biomes
The document provides information about the tundra biome. It states that tundra is the coldest biome and is located in northern regions like Scandinavia, Siberia, Alaska, and Canada. It has very short growing seasons of around 50-60 days, permafrost, and receives only 6-10 inches of precipitation per year mostly as snow. Vegetation is sparse, consisting of shrubs, sedges, mosses, lichens, grasses, and some dwarf trees. The biome supports animal life and has two types: arctic and alpine tundra.
tropical rain forest
A rainforest is a dense jungle that receives a high amount of rainfall each year, giving it a hot and humid climate. Rainforests only cover 6% of the Earth's surface but contain over half of all plant and animal species. They are home to millions of species and are an important source of food and medicine for humans, providing items like chocolate, sugar, cinnamon, rubber, and pineapples. A rainforest has four main layers - the emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor layers - each with different types of plants and animals adapted to the available sunlight. Rainforests play a key role in absorbing rainfall and providing nutrients to trees and plants through decaying matter. Their destruction can have negative consequences
tropical rainforest
A rainforest is a dense jungle that receives a high amount of rainfall per year, which is why it is called a "rain" forest. The climate is very hot and humid, requiring plants and animals to adapt. Though rainforests only cover 6% of the Earth's surface, they contain over half of the world's plant and animal species. Many items used in homes come from rainforests, including foods, medicines, rubber and more. Rainforests have several layers - an emergent layer with the tallest trees, a canopy layer that forms a roof, and lower layers with less sunlight where smaller plants and animals live.
The rainforest
Rainforests are dense forests located near the equator that receive a high amount of rainfall each year. They contain a diverse array of plant and animal life, including reptiles, birds, tigers, snakes, frogs and many tree species, but are increasingly under threat from deforestation. Rainforests play an important ecological role and their protection is important.

Rainforests
Rainforests are dense, warm, wet forests that are home to millions of plant and animal species. They generate much of the Earth's oxygen and contain many important resources for medicine. Rainforests are located near the equator in South America, Central America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Australia. They have high rainfall and temperatures that do not freeze or become too hot. Rainforests are important ecosystems but are increasingly endangered due to deforestation.
Rainforest Challenge
The document provides information about rainforests, including their different layers, locations around the world, importance of plants and animals that live in them, and threats from deforestation. It notes that rainforests contain over 50% of the world's species and discusses the need to protect them in order to save animal habitats and lives as well as benefits like medicinal plants. Examples are given of plants and animals commonly found in rainforests.
Grassland cassidy
The document summarizes key aspects of savannas. Savannas have two distinct seasons - a long, dry season when trees and plants die and a wet, cold season. They are located in parts of central North America, central Russia, Siberia, Africa, South America, South India, and Northern Australia. Savannas support a diversity of animals including elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, and mongooses.
Desert print this ppt
The document discusses the characteristics of desert ecosystems, including their climate, plants, animals, seasons, and human impacts. Deserts have hot or cold climates, with hot deserts receiving less than 10 inches of rain annually. Many desert plants and animals have adaptations like water storage or nocturnal behavior to survive the dry, hot conditions. Seasons are warm year-round with little rainfall. Humans threaten desert ecosystems through activities like poaching, road building, and desertification.
Rainforest And Global Warming
1) The document discusses a presentation by four students on the rainforest and the effects of global warming.
2) It describes what global warming is, the location and key facts about rainforests, common rainforest plants and animals, and how global warming can negatively impact rainforests and their native species.
3) The loss of trees from increased carbon dioxide and tree death would reduce oxygen for other species and habitats in the rainforest ecosystem.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.Main news related to the CCS TSI 2023 (2023/1695)

Rainforest Mitch
- 2. In a rainforest you can clearly tell that it rains a lot because of the name. Each year at least 1500 to 2500 ml of water will come down. In a rainforest there is no dry season so if you are planning a holiday and don’t want to get wet than you better cancel.
- 3. In a rain forest it pretty much stays the same. During the day the temperature is between 30 to 35 degrees celcius. But during the night it is between 20 to 25. The reason rainforests are hot and wet is because they are found near the equator. Which means the sun directly hit the water and the land. The reason it rains so much is also because of the equator. It makes the water evaporate because of the heat and then it slowly cools and makes rain and that is why it is always humid and some times raining.
- 4. Rainforests are located in many places. Such as Africa, Latin America, Brazil, Southeast Asia, pacific islands, Norway, Japan, Southern Australia, New Zealand and the united kingdom. If you don’t know where that is than look at the picture behind the text.
- 5. The reason they are located in these places is again because of the equator. The sun hits the water directly and the water evaporates into the air. Then the moist air makes the plants grow so that is why I is always so much greenery.
- 6. In the rainforest there are many trees and plants even some of the vegetation you eat for dinner started growing in the rainforests. For example tomatoes, corn and even peppers are growing in the rainforest. Some of the stuff that grows in the rainforest is shrubs, coffee, rice, coconuts, corn, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potato, bamboo, mangrove, strangler fig and lots more.
- 7. Mangroves are amazing trees that have adapted to their surroundings. Mangroves need four things to survive salt water, specific soil type, climate and tidal movements. There are more than 50 species of mangroves which include the red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle)
- 8. Strangler figs got their name because they grow rapidly and wrap around other trees and squeeze them to death. The reason the strangler fig kills other trees is because they are always in a competition for the sun light so they don’t just kill for the fun of it. The strangler tree doesn’t just squeeze the tree it also squeezes the roots of the tree with its roots.
- 9. In the rainforest there are many animals such as Spider-monkeys, Macraw, toucan, tree snail, poison arrow frog, morph- butterfly, sloth, rhinoceros beetle and many more. All of them are different in many ways and are unique. Some of them are at extreme risk of extinction or under threat. The smartest animal in a rainforest is a chimpanzee. Chimpanzees are also under threat so you may only see them in a zoo.
- 10. The Rhinoceros beetle you think would be small because it is an insects. They are 6cm which is this big. The rhinoceros beetle is found in south east Asia, Indonesia , Australia and in tropical places. When they are disturbed they make a strange hissing noise by rubbing they’re abdomen against they’re wing covers. If you find one and it has horns that means it is a boy and it will be smaller than a female rhinoceros beetle.
- 11. The spider-monkey is a very interesting animal. They can be in Central and south America from southern Mexico to Brazil. They’re genes have 7 different species of monkeys. Both of the black headed spider- monkey and the brown spider-monkey are under threat. The spider-monkey is one of the largest new world monkeys and are only found in rainforests. The spider-monkey only forage in the high canopy of the rainforest.
- 12. Food chains are a great way to know what animals to avoid unless you are an expert. For example the squirrel eats the nuts and then the tiger eats the squirrel. It all works out well for the tiger but the squirrel had a bad day.
- 13. Food webs are all joined. The anaconda would not just eat monkeys it will also eat the squirrel . So all of the food webs you see are actually all one big one.
- 14. The problem with rainforests are that every second a part of the rainforest that is the size of a football field is being destroyed for paper. In the rainforests Giant bamboo trees grow 9 inches every day. Sloths are so slow that algae and moss grows in their fur. 80% of the plants found in Australian rainforests are not found in any other rainforest. 1 out of 4 of our medicines are made out of rainforest plants. An approximate guess is that half of the animal species in the world are fund in the rainforest.
- 15. An interesting fact about the rainforest is that 57% of the rainforests all over the world are located in Latin America. The reason that they are located in Latin America is because of the equator. The equator makes the sun directly hit he water which makes it evaporate into the air. When it is in the air it helps the greenery grow. So slowly the greenery will absorb some water out of the air and the left over water turns into rain.
