PopulationY Vegetation

Indigenous peoples living in these areas live off fruit gathering, hunting or rudimentary agriculture.···-The low population density of the forests, has made it possible for these people to survive without jeopardizing nature.···-In contrast to this small population, the Asian equatorial areas are crowded. The forest is receding and will planting crops such as rice, sugar, tea and hevea.

·In the equatorial forest two subtypes differ; ombrófilo forest and the forest semiombrófilo:-Ombrophilous forest (of ombros: rain), is characterized by optimal water conditions. The vegetation tends to have a broad but evergreen.····The semiombrófilo is typical of regions where rainfall is less abundant. During that time part of the vegetation loses its leaf. Not all plants while the lose, but depend upon the resistance to reducing water input. So, you can not differentiate stations causes a landscape where the trees have fewer leaves.The equatorial forest has increased its distribution characteristic climate, as may occur in areas of dry tropical and humid tropical climate with the development of a gallery forest around the large rivers and lakes.···-Equatorial forests have a very variegated, dense, lush landscaping. Unlike other biocenosis no one plant species to dominate. Own species found on all floors, which gives the equatorial forest anarchic appearance.Among the equatorial forest representative species are: laurel, mahogany, Bose, bamboo, eucalyptus, okoume, hevea, etc. The understory is composed of lianas, orchids, legumes and thousands of lesser-known species.
