The earth's surface is forested with trees except where too cold, too dry, or too wet. ... There are two major components of diversity: within-habitat (diversity may vary greatly between two forest types, for example) and between-habitat (this covers diversity for an entire area, thus also dependent on the diversity of habitats present). Within-habitat diversity is highest in forests of the equatorial lowlands, and lower with increased latitude, altitude, seasonal variation in climate, simplicity of vegetation, and any environmental extreme, to very low near poles and on high mountains. ...

Atmospheric Structure The gaseous area surrounding the planet is divided into several concentric spherical strata (31k jpeg) separated by narrow transition zones. The upper boundary at which gases disperse into space lies at an altitude of approximately 1000 km above sea level. More than 99% of the total atmospheric mass is concentrated in the first 40 km from Earth's surface. Atmospheric layers are characterized by differences in chemical composition that produce variations in temperature. Troposphere The troposphere (14k jpeg) is the atmospheric layer closest to the planet and c...
