* Sunlight: Rainforests are known for their dense canopies, which can limit the amount of sunlight reaching the forest floor. However, the sunlight that does penetrate is crucial for plant growth.
* Temperature: Rainforests are generally warm and humid, with temperatures rarely dropping below 20°C.
* Rainfall: As the name suggests, rainforests receive a high amount of rainfall, often over 2000 mm per year. This consistent rainfall is essential for the survival of the rainforest ecosystem.
* Soil: Rainforest soils are often nutrient-poor due to rapid decomposition and leaching.
* Humidity: Rainforests are characterized by high humidity, typically over 80%. This humidity plays a key role in regulating the ecosystem's microclimate and supporting the diverse flora and fauna.
* Altitude: Rainforests can be found at various altitudes, with different abiotic factors depending on the elevation. Higher altitudes often experience cooler temperatures and less rainfall.
