Jungle Features

The places that have a very high density of trees, plants and animals are called jungle, this high proportion produces a relative darkness, which greatly increases the production of fungi.

These fields called jungles are really small in the world, but their influence on the development of the world is indisputable and this does not detract from that the forests have been greatly diminished by the need of the locals to create pastures and by the excessive consumption of their exotics woods.

The jungle and its main characteristics:

The jungle has many characteristics, which can distinguish it from the other existing ecosystems:

1.- The climate.- The jungle climate is relatively hot and humid, these circumstances produce a very abundant vegetation and therefore a very abundant concentration of fauna and flora.

2.- The fauna.- The fauna of these territories is very varied, and it is even estimated that more than 70% of the fauna is concentrated in the jungles. fauna of the world and it is even believed that there are many species and varieties that have not been discovered in these places.

3.- The flora.- The flora of the jungle is very varied, the plants found here can be very rich in alkaloids, which can be both harmful drugs, as well as drugs that could serve the benefit of the human being.

4.- The population.- In the jungles there are also populations of human beings, in these places the inhabitants are generally nomadic and have predefined places where they settle by seasons and although apparently abandoned villages sometimes appear, it is possible that in a given period (cycle) they will repopulate when circumstances merit.

These populations have extensive knowledge about the effects of jungle plants as well as the services they can provide certain animals of the jungle, in some cases medicines can be made based on the ancient knowledge of the inhabitants of the jungles.

5.- The height.- The jungles are at different heights and obviously this circumstance alters both the fauna as the flora, and here you can make some small subdivisions that separate the jungles in some lessons:

• High jungle.- This type of jungle is distinguished by being in the upper part of the trees that is higher than 30 or 35 meters in height; In this there are so many fauna that only live in these places and flora, the so-called parasitic flora, which grows and is complemented by the host trees; In this jungle the trees do not lose their leaves in the dry season or in the autumn season.
• Middle jungle.- Following in part the above, the middle jungle has trees between 25 and 30 meters high and their fauna has wide differences to those of the previous fauna, they have obviously adapted to the height and type of flora of trees.
• Low jungle.- In this jungle there are the smallest trees and their height, even though it is high, does not exceed 15 meters in height.
  Its fauna is not as abundant as that of the other two forests, and its growth by the amount of water and the amount of protection it has for plants and fauna of the place.

6.- Its usefulness.- The usefulness of the jungle is directly linked to oxygenation, because together with algae and forests, the jungle is a source essential oxygen, also medicines, and although it is not the most suitable objective, it is a source of wood and raw materials for the use of the human.

7.- Conclusion.- The jungle is one of the greatest treasures that the world has, as a planet and man as an inhabitant of the planet, it has fauna that in many cases is in danger of extinction; on the one hand, by the extraction of the man who takes them out to have them as a pet or by considering them aphrodisiacs or by removing large territories to turn them into pastures and farmland.
