Als minimum wordt 1700 tot 2500 millimeter regen aangehouden voor een regenwoud, met een bepaald minimum per maand: als de regen ongelijk over het jaar verdeeld is kan sprake zijn van een moessonwoud. Een nevelwoud kan even nat zijn als een regenwoud, maar het water komt in een andere vorm. Regenwouden worden gekenmerkt, naast de grote hoeveelheid regen, door levensgem...
