Forest biomes that receive the most rain are the tropical rainforests. Located near the equator, these lush forests thrive in regions with high levels of precipitation, often exceeding 2000 millimeters (about 79 inches) of rain each year.
The consistent warmth and moisture create an ideal environment for a diverse array of plant and animal life. The high rainfall supports dense tree canopies, thick understgrowth, and a myriad of species that rely on this unique ecosystem.
In contrast, temperate rainforests, found in coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest and other locations, also receive significant rainfall but not as much as tropical rainforests. These temperate zones can still boast lush greenery but generally feature different flora and fauna compared to their tropical counterparts.
