Tropical evergreen forests are usually found in areas receiving more than 200cm of rainfall and having a temperature of (5 deg.C-30 deg.C).They occupy about 7% of the Earth's land surface and harbour more than half of the world's plants and animals.Found mostly near the equator, these tropical forests are dense, multi-layered and harbour many types of plants and animals.These trees are evergreen as there is no period of drought or frost.They are mostly tall hardwood trees with broad leaves that release excess water through transpiration.
In India, evergreen forests are found on the western slopes of the western ghats in states such as Maharashtra,Kerala and Karnataka.And also found in Assam,Arunachal Pradesh,Meghalaya,Nagaland,Tripura,West Bengal and Andaman & Nicobar islands. They are also found in the hills of Jaintia and Khasi.Some of the trees found in Indian Tropical Forests are rosewood,mahagony,ebony.Bamboo and reeds are also common.
Deciduous trees lose their leaves in fall.The natural decaying of the fallen leaves enriches the soil and supports all kinds of plant and animal life.
