Troopiline mets

Troopilised metsad on metsaga kaetud maastikud troopilistes regioonides.

Mõned troopiliste metsade liigid on keerulised. Kui parasvöötmes asuvad metsad on kergesti liigitatavad puude võrade tiheduse alusel, ei toimi sellised skeemid troopilistes metsades.^[1] Puudub ühtne skeem, mille alusel troopilisi metsi määratleda.^[1]^[2] Seetõttu varieerub ka teave troopiliste metsade ulatuse kohta. Troopilised metsad moodustavad veidi alla poole maailma metsadest.^[3]
