Las altas temperaturas favorecen el desarrollo de una vegetación tupida y exuberante, siempre verde. El título de el pulmón del planeta que ostenta la Amazonia no es metafórico ya que mantiene un equilibrio climático: los ingresos y salidas de CO2 y de O2 están balanceados. Los científicos ambientalistas concuerdan en que la pérdida de la biodiversidad es resultado de la destrucción de la selva, y que se evidencia con la aparición en el área del Caquetá a un sistema anterior del bosque selvático en el cual se utilizaron suelos de forma permanente tierras pretas gracias a su progresivo abono y por lo que así evitó las migraciones. Wet tropical forests are the most species-rich biome, and tropical forests in the Americas are consistently more species rich than the wet forests in Africa and Asia.[16] As the largest tract of tropical rainforest in the Americas, the Amazonian rainforests have unparalleled biodiversity. One in ten known species in the world live in the Amazon Rainforest.[17] This constitutes the largest collection of living plants and animal species in the world. The region is home to about 2.5 million insect species,[18] tens of thousands of plants, and some 2000 birds and mammals. To date, at least 40000 plant species, 3000 fish, 1294 birds, 427 mammals, 428 amphibians, and 378 reptiles have been scientifically <b>...</b>

0.57 min. | 0 user rating		 In vascular plants, the root is the organ of a plant that typically lies below the surface of the soil. This is not always the case, however, since a root can also be aerial (growing above the ground) or aerating (growing up above the ground or especially above water). Furthermore, a stem normally occurring below ground is not exceptional either (see rhizome). So, it is better to define root as a part of a plant body that bears no leaves, and therefore also lacks nodes. There are also important internal structural differences between stems and roots. The first root that comes from a plant is called the radicle. The three major functions of roots are 1) absorption of water and inorganic nutrients, 2) anchoring of the plant body to the ground and 3) storage of food and nutrients. In response to the concentration of nutrients, roots also synthesise cytokinin, which acts as a signal as to how fast the shoots can grow. Roots often function in storage of food and nutrients. The roots of most vascular plant species enter into symbiosis with certain fungi to form mycorrhizas, and a large range of other organisms including bacteria also closely associate with roots. These Amazing Roots were recorded in the Varzea, close to Puerto Nariño - Amazonas - Colombia. Várzea is that part of the Amazon forest which lies next to rivers and is flooded annually for several months. The trees are adapted to having their lower parts submerged in water in this way.
