A liana is any of various long-stemmed, woody vines that are rooted in the soil at ground level and use trees to climb up to the canopy to get access to well-lit areas of the forest. The picture is from Lamington National Park, part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, the most extensive area of subtropical rainforest in the world. The Gondwana Rainforests are so-named because the fossil record indicates that when Gondwana existed it was covered by rainforests containing the same kinds…

Experience the magic of El Yunque National Forest in Puerto Rico, where cloud-draped mountains meet lush rainforests. This misty, primordial landscape is a testament to the island's rich natural heritage. The dense, verdant canopy teems with exotic birds and the gentle patter of rainfall creates a symphony of nature's sounds. The unique geography of the area includes a peninsula jutting out into the Caribbean Sea, a nearby archipelago of smaller islands, and a basin carved by centuries of…

Flattened or twisted lianas often become tangled together to form a hanging network of vegetation. Lianas belong to several different plant families and may grow up to 60 cm (about 24 inches) in diameter…

Tropical rainforests across the world are quite diverse, but share several defining characteristics including climate, precipitation, canopy structure, complex symbiotic relationships, and diversity of species.

equator on Instagram: "Papua New Guinea, 1979. "To walk beneath a tropical rainforest is unforgettable. Massive vine-tangled trees reach up, the branch-patterned sunlight filtering through their huge interlocking green crowns, so metres or more above. These massive trees are merely the matrix in which the rest of the rainforest lives. Light, temperature, humidity and wind all change in the journey from the forest floor to the canopy and at each level animals and plants are adapted to live…
