But I still had this ridiculous image of myself helping with something important in a hot wet forest.
They had walked hundreds of miles through the dense and hot equatorial forest of Zaire and then crossed the Congo River.
Katniss turns out to have an unexpectedly filthy turn of phrase – "I've got the squirts" – while Gale says she smells "like a hot foot forest".
It may not surprise you to hear that investors are not especially hot on forest restoration (I joked that it was a "growth industry" but really because of the reasons above it's in dire straits).
The park around the Wolf's Lair was resplendent with lush green, the summer was hot, the forest shimmered, and Theo Morell fastened a facial mosquito net over the visor of his fantastical uniform cap.
Unlike the hot canopy forest fires often seen in the western portion of the country, the Pocosin fire was not associated with high temperatures and heat waves.
Peat fires burn significantly more biological mass, produce massive amounts of smoke, and are notoriously more difficult to extinguish than hot canopy forest fires or grassland fires (Muraleedharan et al. 2000; Page et al. 2002; See et al. 2007; Soja et al. 2004).
The parrots, which are endangered, are originally from the dry, hot coastal forests of Peru and Ecuador.

Composition and function of soil microbial communities from cold deserts, hot deserts, forests, grasslands and tundra have been compared, and some functional genes associated with osmoregulation, dormancy and antibiotic resistance have been shown to be related to environments [ 20].
A comparison of soil metagenomes from distinct geographical locations, including cold and hot deserts, forests, grasslands, and tundra, has demonstrated the uniqueness of microbial communities in terms of taxonomic diversity and also the high relative abundance of functional genes that can be linked to the metabolic capability required to cope with specific environmental conditions [ 13].
