Tropical Rainforest Plants
Pyramid of EnergyLight from the sun is essential to the survival of all beings. Plants convert the sun into a chemical energy called "Photosynthesis."
The producers require close to 100% of the sunlight available. The herbivores or primary consumers use 10% of the sunlight available to them. Secondary consumers receive about 1% of the original sunlight energy. Finally, the tertiary consumers receives about 0.1% of the light energy available to them. |
Invasive species
Tradescantia zebrina is an invasive species that's popular in Tropical environments such as, the Caribbean. Tradescantia zebrina can also be used as a household plant but can easily get out of hand if not properly kept. This plant is considered an invasive species because of it's ability to cling itself to other objects and how quickly it grows if not taken care of. In some tropical areas the Tradescantia zebrina is no longer allowed to be planted or traded. |
Invasive species Bamboo is an extremely quick growing species and considered to be one of the most invasive species in the world. This plant can grow in many different areas but it mostly grows in areas with high climate like Asia and Australia but is found in the Caribbean as well . Bamboo is close to impossible to control or eliminate once it's started to grow and it takes a lot of time and patience that's why we consider it an invasive species. |
