Hello! The rain forests of South America are some of the most productive photosynthetic environments in the world for several regions. Tropical regions near the equator have warm temperatures year round and extremely high annual rainfall making them the ideal environment for plant growth. Additionally the exceptionally high biodiversity in these regions allow for a greater variety of photosynthetic organisms to thrive in a small area, boosting the total productivity of the ecosystem.
