Tropical Evergreen Forests

The tropical wet evergreen forest in India is usually found in areas receiving more than 200 cm of rainfall and having a temperature of 15-30 degrees Celsius.

They occupy about 7% of the earth’s surface.

They are found mostly near the equator.

They have sparse undergrowth interspersed with clearings

They have a scarce presence of litter (organic matter settling on the ground)

These forests are dense and multi-layered.

They harbor many types of plants and animals.

The forests constitute an important part of the environment and ecology.

These trees are an important component of the Forest Biology and ecosystem, that helps to promote life in the ecosystem. This allows the plants and animal life to harmonize and live with one another in absolute peace.
