ʻO nā ululāʻau tropika kahi wahi kūlohelohe kūikawā me ka nui o nā flora a me nā holoholona. Loaʻa nā ulu lāʻau o kēia ʻano ma ʻAmelika Waena a me ʻAmelika Hema, ʻApelika a me ʻAsia, ʻAukekulia a me kekahi mau mokupuni ma ka Moana Pākīpika.
Nā kūlana aniau
E like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, ʻike ʻia nā waoakua i kahi maloʻo, ʻāpana aniau. Loaʻa lākou i kahi ʻāpana i nā ani i nā aniwa equatorial. Hoʻohui ʻia, loaʻa nā ululāʻau pāheona i ka wahi subequatorial, kahi e pili ai ka wela i ka holo o ka nui o ka ea. Hoʻololi ka mahana wela o ka lewa mai + 20 a + 35 kekelē Kelekia. ʻAʻole nānā ʻia nā kau ma aneʻi, no ka mea, mehana ka ulu lāʻau i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa. Ua piʻi ka pae o ka mahana i 80%. Hoʻolaha like ʻole ʻia ka presipitation ma loko o ka ʻāina, akā ma kahi o 2000 milimaka hāʻule i kēlā me kēia makahiki, a ma kekahi mau wahi ʻoi aku. He ʻano ʻokoʻa ko nā ululāʻau o nā ʻāina ʻokoʻa a me nā wahi kai. ʻO ia ke kumu e hoʻokaʻawale ka poʻe ʻepekema i nā ululāʻau pāhihi i ka pulu (ua) a me nā kau.
Waoakua nahele
Nā ʻāpana o nā wao nahele tropical:
Nā ululāʻau Mangrove
ʻŌmaʻomaʻo mauna
Nāhele ulu
Kūkulu ʻia nā wao akua e ka nui o ka ua. I kekahi mau wahi, hiki i ka 2000-5000 millimeter ke hāʻule i kēlā me kēia makahiki, a i kekahi - a i ka 12000 millimeter. Kūleʻa lākou i loko o ka makahiki. ʻO ke aniani o ka ea ma waena o +28 kekelē.
ʻO nā mea kanu i nā ulu nahele me nā pāma a me nā ferns lāʻau, ka mura a me nā ʻohana legume.

E mohala kekahi mau mea kanu i ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa, ʻoiai he pua pua pōkole kā kekahi. Loaʻa ka limu a me nā mea kanu i nā ululāʻau mangrove.

Nā wao nahele kau
ʻO kēia mau ulu lāʻau i kēia mau ʻaoʻao aʻe:

He mau kau maloʻo a pulu nā ulu nahele. Aia he 3000 millimeter o ka ua i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Aia kekahi kau hāʻule lau. Aia nā ululāʻau ʻōmaʻomaʻo mau loa a me ka ulu mau ʻana.
ʻO nā ululāʻau kau nā home o ka pāma, ʻūmū, keaka, terminalia, albicia, ʻēboni, epiphytes, nā kumu waina, a me ke kō.

Uhi nā ululāʻau tropika i kahi ākea ma ka honua. ʻO lākou nā "māmā" o ka honua, akā ke ʻoki nui nei nā kānaka i nā kumulāʻau, kahi e alakaʻi ai ʻaʻole wale i nā pilikia o ke kaiapuni, akā i ka luku ʻia hoʻi o nā ʻano mea kanu a me nā holoholona.
