All of the worlds major types of ecosystems are present in South America. Venezuela Colombia Ecuador Bolivia Brasil and Peru are among the richest countries in terms of plant and animal species. The vegetation varies from rain forests to grasslands and desert scrub.
It ranges from the thick trees of the rain forests to mosses of the tundra. Tropical rainforests are found in the equatorial regions in South AmericaThe largest forest is the Amazon rain forests forest which covers more than two million square miles of South America.

EQUATORIAL FOREST CHARACTERISTICS. The hightemperature and heavy rainfall produceluxuriant vegetation generally composed ofbroad-leaved trees found in wet tropicaluplands and lowlands around the Equator. WHERE IT IS FOUND.
Found in theAmazon Basin and coastal lowlands of North-eastern Brazil coastal Colombia and parts ofadjoining Ecuador. South America possesses a distinctive plant life. The biotic region is called the Neotropics and its faunal realm the Neogaean.
The region extends southward from the Tropic of Cancer and includes Central and South Americaeven the temperate southern portion. There are some similarities between South Americas vegetation and that of other continents as a result of past geologic developments. The natural vegetation of the wetter northern parts of the zone is evergreen coniferous forest dominated by Araucaria angustifolia.
The Araucaria forest some 25 m tall may be almost pure but more often it dominates a dense forest with a profusion of Cedrela fissilis Phoebe porosa Tabebuia spp Parapiptadenia spp. And the shrub Ilex paraguariensis. South Americas natural vegetation follows closely the continents climatic zones.
In the Amazon Basin and other tropical-rainy regions are vast rain forests. The savannas are the grasslands on the either side of the equatorial forests. Savannas are known as llanos in Orinoco river basin and Campos in the Brazilian Highlands.
A savanna or savannah is a mixed woodland-grassland ecosystem characterised by the trees being sufficiently widely spaced so that the canopy does not close. The open canopy allows sufficient light to reach the ground to support an unbroken herbaceous layer consisting primarily of grasses. Savannas maintain an open canopy despite a high tree density.
It is often believed that savannas feature widely. The Natural Environment of South America PowerPoint A 17 slide editable PowerPoint template to use when introducing students to the climate vegetation and animals of South America. Vegetation Map of North America.
