Characteristics of Trees in Tropical Deciduous Forests

  • During dry summer, trees in Tropical Deciduous Forests shed their leaves to conserve water.

Distribution of Moist Deciduous Forests in India

  • Moist Deciduous Forests are mostly found in the Eastern Ghats and the Northeastern regions of India.

Other Fauna of Tropical Deciduous Forests

  • Snakes, Lizards, and Insects are examples of animals other than mammals found in these forests.

Distribution of Dry Deciduous Forests in India
