No Trees in the rainforest.avi
That, with, you notice with with the recent flooding a lot of trees will be knocked down because there are no more root support, which is why the tropical rainforest can’t support trees.

Right they have very thin trees. Most of the trees are supported with vines. If I can find a picture I’ll show you exactly what they look like. It’s not the kind of trees we think of in the boreal forest. (Student: Wait, but don’t vines grow on trees for support?) No, not these kind of vines. (class laughing) These vines.. (How do they grow up if there’s nothing to climb?) They do, vines climb, they can grow all over the place. (So they don’t climb, they just go straight up?) They go, usually, lot’s go side to side, a lot of them grow up and down. For details you’d have to check with a biologist, I don’t have any details on vine growth. It’s not like not one of my, um, yeah, I’m not 100% confident in telling you a lot about the vines and trees. Um, STUDENT? (Student: So the tropical rainforest, doesn’t have any trees?) It has trees, but it’s not the kind of trees that you find in the boreal forest. There’s a difference, okay? Alright, let’s go!
