A type of forest that is dominated by the trees which shed their leaves in the dry season, to save themselves from transpiration. Deciduous forests are the vital habitat for many wildlife species, that directly or indirectly depends on trees for their food and shelter. The leaves of the trees in these forests are broad, which increases the rate of photosynthesis.

Tropical Evergreen forests are found in the area which receives more than 200 cm of rainfall annually and has a temperature between 15-30 degrees Celsius. They have taken up seven percent of the earth’s land and provide shelters to more than half of the world’s animals and plants. These mostly cover the part of the equator (between tropic of Cancer and Capricorn).

The forests are multilayered and so dense that the sunlight is not able to reach the ground. The trees in the tropical evergreen forests do not shed their leaves in any season, as there is no time of drought. Though old leaves are being dropped and replaced by the new one timely.
