What is tropical evergreen?

Tropical evergreen refers to a type of forest ecosystem found in tropical regions where rainfall is abundant throughout the year, leading to lush vegetation. These forests are characterized by a dense canopy of tall trees, which remain green year-round, as they do not shed their leaves seasonally. The biodiversity in tropical evergreen forests is extremely high, supporting a wide variety of plant and animal species. Key examples include the Amazon Rainforest and the forests of Southeast Asia.
