Question

Highlight five points of distinction between tropical decidous forests and coniferous forests​

Answer 1

$\large\tt\red{AnsWeR....}$

1. Conifers are mostly evergreen — they keep their leaves (needles) for several years, and needle drop occurs year round.
2. Deciduous trees drop their leaves in fall in temperate climates.
3. Caveat: Broad leaf trees in tropical climates can behave like conifers and have some leaves year round.

Answer 2

tropical deciduous forests

1) these forests are also known as monsoon forests.

2) the deciduous forests have predominantly broad leafed trees .

3) they shed their leaves during the dry season to conserve moisture .

4) forests receive summer rainfall between 100 to 200 cm .

5) these forests are commonly found in india , Myanmar, south China.

coniferous forests

1) located in the mountains of the tropics i.e can be found in the mountains of the torrid zone .

2) they are mainly evergreen trees i.e they do not shed all their leaves in winter .

3) they have thin , needle like leaves that provides less surface area for holding snow and hence the snow slides off .

4) the rate of transpiration is very low .

5) they can survive extreme cold temperature.
