The Amazon Biome: A Mosaic of Ecosystems and Biodiversity
The Amazon Biome is the world's largest tropical rainforest biome, covering much of northwestern Brazil and extending into Colombia, Peru, and several other South American countries. Often referred to as "the lungs of the Earth," the Amazon Biome plays a crucial role in global climate regulation, biodiversity conservation, and the water cycle. From towering emergent trees to microscopic soil organisms, from winding rivers to seasonal flood plains, it represents one of our planet's most intricate and vital ecological systems.
