Also known as rain forest, Rainforest
Rainforests are forests characterized by a closed and continuous tree canopy, moisture-dependent vegetation, the presence of epiphytes and lianas and the absence of wildfire. Rainforests can generally be classified as tropical rainforests or temperate rainforests, but other types have been described.
A rainforest is a densely forested area with a continuous canopy of trees, moisture-loving plants, climbing vines, and plants that grow on other plants, where wildfires naturally don't occur. These forests exist in both tropical and temperate regions around the world, though scientists have identified additional types beyond these two main categories.

多雨林(たうりん:Rainforest)または雨林(うりん)とは、降水量の多い気候条件によって成立する森林である。いわゆる熱帯雨林気候のような場所に成立する多雨林以外にも、例えば海洋近くに高山がある場合などでは降水量が局地的に多くなり得るため局地的に成立した多雨林も存在する。
