Tropical ecology is the study of ecosystems found in tropical regions, characterized by warm temperatures and high rainfall. These areas, such as the Amazon Rainforest and Southeast Asian jungles, are home to diverse plant and animal species. Researchers focus on understanding the interactions between organisms and their environment, including how climate and human activities impact biodiversity. In tropical ecosystems, complex relationships exist among species, including predation, competition, and mutualism. The rich biodiversity supports various ecological processes, such as nutrient cycling and pollination. Conservation efforts are crucial in these regions to protect habitats from threats like deforestation and climate change, ensuring the survival of unique species and ecosystems.
