Tropical Rainforest

http://www.blueplanetbiomes.org/rainforest.htm

The tropical rainforest consists of tall trees, only about 10-20% of the light ever hits the ground. The Tropical Rainforest biome has no seasons, and keeps warmth to it all year around. There is more than 50% of the worlds species living in this biome alone, including plant life. Very little sunlight reaches the ground resulting in stunted plant life, for example small shrubs, lichens, mosses, etc. It rains very often in the rainforest, resulting, in high humidity year round.
