Tropical Biodiversity: The Latitudinal Diversity Gradient Explained | EcolClips

Tropical rainforests are breathtaking, the life they support sheer overwhelming. Over half of all plants and animals on earth occur in these ecosystems while only covering ca. 6% of terrestrial land. But what makes rainforest so unique in terms of their biodiversity?
