Why do trees grow faster in tropical regions?
- ๐๏ธ 6
Trees grow faster in tropical regions due to abundant sunlight, warm temperatures, and high rainfall. These conditions provide year-round photosynthesis and nutrient availability. Tropical soils, although often nutrient-poor, are supplemented by rapid decomposition of organic matter. The constant growing season allows trees to invest energy in height and leaf production, creating lush and diverse ecosystems like rainforests.
