How do I draw a simple structure of the tropical rain forest?

February 19, 2010 - 2:25 am 2 Comments

I need to learn how to draw the structure of the tropical rain forest for my Geography test.

It does not need to be very detailed, but the general characteristics of the tropical rain forest must be there (for example the 5 layers).

I took classes with Howard Odum, a genius on energy and material cycles in cypress swamps. Let’s see if I can help you.
Try this from the Missouri Boanical Garden… I went there because they had the first Geodesic dome ever built. But they have awesome gardens there.

    Hello,I would do layer by layer first. Start with the background,then fill in things such as trees etc.Good Luck :)
