Identify some abiotic characteristics of the rainforest biome. (Site 1)

Answer 1

Some abiotic characteristics of the rainforest biome include high humidity, abundant rainfall, and warm temperatures throughout the year. Rainforests typically experience annual precipitation levels of around 1750 to 2000 millimeters (or about 69 to 79 inches), creating a consistently moist environment. Additionally, the soil in rainforest areas is often nutrient-poor due to rapid decomposition and leaching, and the sunlight is filtered through the dense canopy, creating varying light conditions on the forest floor.
