__**Abiotic Factors of the Tropical Rainforest**__

 There are 4 abiotic factors that affect the tropical rainforest and the way this biome survives.

The first two abiotic factors of the Tropical Rainforest are the amount of water and sunlight the biome receives, without the right amount of water and sunlight organisms would not be able to survive. Then the whole biome would not be able to survive because trees are the main producers of the tropical rainforest. The trees are high off the ground therefore they receive more direct sunlight than the ground organisms in the tropical rainforest.  Another abiotic factor is the climate of the tropical rainforest biome. The climate that pertains to the tropical rainforests is a very warm wet atmosphere. The average temperature of the tropical rainforest is from 68 to 93 degrees fahrenheit. These temperatures are all year long, which is why the tropical rainforest can support so much life.

 The last abiotic factor of the Tropical Rainforest is the amount of precipitation this biome receives. The tropical rainforest receives about 250 centimters each year, which proposes a high humidity level. The average humidity all year round is about 77 %, which is extremely high for a biome. This vast amount of water given to the tropical rainforest also contributes to the vast about of species in the tropical rainforest.



However there are also abiotic chemical factors, whch contribute to the way of life in the tropical rainforest. These chemical abiotic factors are chemicals present in the soil normally, called organic chemicals and also chemicals that may contaminate the soil and eventually stop growth.

The organic chemicals give nutrients to the organism through their roots or another transfer within the soil. These organic chemicals are necessary for growth and are ultimately the reason for plant growth within the tropical rainforest. These organic chemicals are always found in soil of each and every tropical rainforest on planet Earth.

The next chemical abiotic factor is chemical contamination. This is the exact opposite of organic chemicals. This contamination transfers toxins into the organism instead of nutrients. By cutting off an organism`s supply of nutrients the organism cannot survive. These contaminations are rare, however, when they do occur they are very fatal and may wipe out part of an ecosystem .  

All of these abiotic factors affect the species living in the tropical rainforest as well as how

these species survive.
