Study Notes

Tropical Evergreen Forests

Found in areas with high temperatures and abundant rainfall (over 200 cm annually).
Trees remain green year-round, forming dense canopies.
Examples include mahogany and rosewood.
Located in the Western Ghats, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, and northeastern India.

Tropical Deciduous Forests

Found in areas with moderate rainfall (100-200 cm annually).
Trees lose their leaves during the dry season to conserve water.
Examples include teak and sal.
Predominant in central and eastern India.

Thorn Forests and Scrubs

Found in arid and semi-arid regions with low rainfall (less than 50 cm annually).
Trees and shrubs have adaptations for dry conditions: thick bark and spines.
Examples include acacia and cactus.
Common in Rajasthan, Gujarat, and parts of the Deccan Plateau.

Montane Forests

Found in mountainous regions with varied elevations.
Lower elevations feature tropical forests.
Higher elevations have temperate and alpine forests.
Examples include pine and deodar.
Located in the Himalayas and Nilgiri regions.

Mangrove Forests

Found in coastal areas and tidal zones where saltwater and freshwater mix.
Trees have stilt roots for survival in saline and waterlogged soils.
An example is the sundari tree.
Important in the Sundarbans (West Bengal) and Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
