Our Environment
Forests
Forests are huge groups of trees and plants that grow in regions with medium to hot temperatures and plentiful rains.
Tropical Evergreen Forests
Also known as rainforests, they occur in regions near the equator and the tropics, and they receive a heavy rainfall throughout the year.
Due to the absence of a particular dry season, trees in rainforests don't shed their leaves altogether, and this is why they are called evergreen.
The tress in tropical evergreen rainforests grow close to each other, and they have thick canopies (tree cover at the top), so sunlight doesn't penetrate them and reach the ground even in the daytime.
Important trees in rainforests are rosewood, mahogany, and ebony, and they are also called hardwood trees.
Tropical Deciduous Forests
They are also called monsoon forests and are found in India, northern Australia, and central America.
The trees there experience seasonal changes and shed their leaves in the dry season to save water.
Hardwood trees found there are sal, teak, neem, and sheesham, and they are very useful in making furniture, transportation, and construction materials.
Main animals found in those forests are tigers, lions, monkeys, elephants, and langurs.
Temperate Evergreen Forests
They're located in the mid-latitudinal coastal regions and, mostly in the eastern margins of continents.
The important trees there are oak, pine and eucalyptus.
Temperate Deciduous Forests
They are found in higher latitudinal regions like the north-east of the USA, New Zealand, China, and Chile.
They shed their leaves in the dry seasons, and the common trees there are oak, ash, beech etc.
Deer, wolves, fox are the common animals and the pheasant and the monal are common birds.
Mediterranean Vegetation
This type of vegetation gets its name from the Mediterranean Sea bordering Europe, Asia, and Africa, and the west and south-west margins of continents are covered with it.
It is also found in south-west America, Africa, and Australia, regions that are marked with hot dry summers and mild rainy winters.
Cultivation of citrus fruits takes place in areas with Mediterranean vegetation, and not much of wildlife is found there.
Coniferous Forests
They are found in the higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, such as in the Himalayas, and are also known as the taiga.
They have softwood evergreen trees such as chir, pine, and deodar that are used to make pulp for the paper and box-making industries.
The important animals there are the silver fox, the mink, and the polar bear.
