<P> Tropical rainforests are located around and near the equator , therefore having what is called an equatorial climate characterized by three major climatic parameters : temperature , rainfall , and dry season intensity . Other parameters that affect tropical rainforests are carbon dioxide concentrations , solar radiation , and nitrogen availability . In general , climatic patterns consist of warm temperatures and high annual rainfall . However , the abundance of rainfall changes throughout the year creating distinct moist and dry seasons . Tropical forests are classified by the amount of rainfall received each year , which has allowed ecologists to define differences in these forests that look so similar in structure . According to Holdridge 's classification of tropical ecosystems , true tropical rainforests have an annual rainfall greater than 2 m and annual temperature greater than 24 degrees Celsius , with a potential evapotranspiration ratio ( PET ) value of < 0.25 . However , most lowland tropical forests can be classified as tropical moist or wet forests , which differ in regards to rainfall . Tropical forest ecology - dynamics , composition , and function - are sensitive to changes in climate especially changes in rainfall . </P>
