Covering more than 2 million square miles in South America, the Amazonian rainforest plays an important role in regulating the level of carbon dioxide, and thus affects global climate. In the Amazon, strong transpiration along with sea-land interaction, produces the classic tropical rainforest climate. The growth of rainforest is influenced by precipitation, especially during the wet season from December to May.
