9. Compare tropical rain forest and temperate rainforest. At first, rainfall in temperate rainforest is 1500-3500 mm per year, in tropical rainforest t can
reach from 1500 to 6000 mm per year. The temperature in rainforest don't get higher than 20 C very often and unlike the temperate rainforest, where the
temperature can drop to 0 C, the temperature in rainforest don't drop below 20 C very often. The biggest difference between these two bioms is soil- in
temperate rainforest the soil is nutrient-rich(because of the quantity of organic matter on the ground) but in troipcal rainforest, it is infertile, deeply weathered
and severly leached. Similar between tropical and temperate rainforest is distributation-both of these bioms are found around the equator. And the other
similarity is that their only grow plants that require rain.
