Differentiate berween the vegetation of tropical evergreen and tropical deciduous forests
Answers
Answer:
There are several important differences between a deciduous and an evergreen tree. We will list them for you here:
Deciduous and evergreen trees are opposite each other. Deciduous trees shed their leaves seasonally and evergreen trees keep their foliage throughout the year.
Deciduous trees are adapted to tolerate cold and dry weather conditions by shedding their leaves while evergreens do not.
Evergreens can survive with low soil nutrients. A huge portion of internal nutrients is removed during the defoliation of deciduous trees.
Nutrient requirements of evergreens are somewhat higher than those of deciduous trees during bad weather because of the need for foliage maintenance. In deciduous trees, it is high after harsh weather when the foliage is renewed.
Deciduous trees are more sensitive to temperature and rain fall than evergreen trees.
