 | | Tropical plants and animals are those species native to the tropics. | | | However, there are places in the tropics that are anything but "tropical" in this sense, with even alpine tundra and snow-capped peaks, including Mauna Kea, Mt. | | | In Köppen's scheme of climate classification, a tropical climate is defined as a non-arid climate in which all twelve months have mean temperatures above 18 °C (64.4 °F). |

| | Progress in tropical medicine, advancing technology, and the pressure of increasing populations have led in recent years to the cultivation and settlement of some rain-forest areas. | | | Such population growth has led to deforestation of the tropical forest, which is thought to contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming, and to the elimination of numerous unique species. | | | Since the entire tropical zone receives the rays of the sun more directly than areas in higher latitudes, the average annual temperature of the tropics is higher and the seasonal change of temperature is less than in other zones. |

| | USGCRP Seminar: Sensitivity of the Tropics to a Global Climate Warming: Evidence and Implications |
| | The influence of the tropics on the Earth's climate, as well as the sensitivity of the tropics to a global climate warming (and variations in the occurrence and intensity of El Niño/La Niña events and monsoons), are issues of growing concern. | | | As the Earth's climate is thermodynamically non-linear, water vapor feedbacks in the tropics, associated with a global warming, may, in fact, be partially responsible for the present and possible future amplification of climatic changes in the tropics. | | | However, recent evidence of past tropical climate conditions, based on high-resolution deep-sea sediment cores and ice cores from tropical mountain glaciers, reveal extensive cooling in the tropics during the last ice age, on the order of 4-5°C in the oceanic upwelling areas of the eastern equatorial Pacific and the Atlantic Oceans. |

| | But there's more; and even a preliminary glance at the variety within tropical zoology says a lot about the enticing universe of exotic species, the diversity of their adaptations, and the extravagance of their shapes and specialized behavior, all of which contribute to the extraordinary originality and spectacular character of tropical fauna. | | | The great biomass of plants, in particular, offers food to an immense number of small organisms, from bacteria to insects, that are capable of decomposing, absorbing, and permitting the recycling of this precious source of nutrients. | | | One further fascinating aspect regarding tropical zoology, again, is linked to the climatic stability and homogeneity of many tropical areas, even though they may be separated from one another geographically. |

| | Climate change - tropics, tropical rainforests, rising oceans |
| | In other parts of the tropics, even in places that have been undisturbed for more than 4500 years, the rise in atmospheric CO2 appears to be changing the composition of the forest. | | | Sixteen years of data on tree growth, tropical air temperatures and CO2 readings indicate that a warming climate may cause the tropical forests to give off more carbon dioxide than they take up. | | | For many years, it was thought that tropical rainforests were essentially unaffected by climate change Now studies are showing that not only were they changed during past events like ice ages, but some areas are being affected right now by warming. |
