Biomes
Brazil
has two different rainforest
biomes
; the
Amazon
and the
Atlantic Rainforest
/ (
Mata Atlāntica
). While the Amazon is a flat tropical inland rainforest with large river systems, the Atlantic Rainforest is a moutainous
tropical
and
subtropical
coastal rainforest.
Biodiversity
of the Atlantic Rainforest is particularly high because it comprises 7
ecosystems
with up to 5
altitudinal zones
(see
biomap
). It is considered one of the top 5
hotspots
in the world and comprises the second largest
biosphere reserve
on Earth. About 600 of Brazil's 900
conservation units
are to be found in the Atlantic Rainforest. It comprises four
World Heritage Sites
