Tropical and subtropical moist broadeafs forests
TSMFs form the most biodiverse biome in the world. Rain forests are generally found in large, discontinuous patches centered on the equatorial belt and between the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, characterized by low variability in annual temperature and high levels of rainfall of more than 200 cm annually, dominated by an evergreen and semi-deciduous tree habitat with the highest levels of species diversity in any terrestrial major habitat type.
