these forests experience heavy rainfall and high temperature throughout the year
Answers
Answer:
Tropical Evergreen Forests
These thick forests occur in the regions near the equator and close to the tropics. These regions are hot and receive heavy rainfall throughout the year. As there is no particular dry season, the trees do not shed their leaves altogether. This is the reason they are called evergreen.
Answer:

Tropical rain forests occur over equatorial or Sub-equatorial regions with abundant warmth and heavy rainfall (200-350 cms/year) almost throughout the year. The forests are impenetrable with maximum diversity. Productivity is also maximum. Almost 200 different types of tall trees are expected in one hectare, which is maximum as compared to other forest types. Standing crop biomass is highest. The soil is highly leached due to heavy rains and is, therefore, poor in nutrients. A lot of nutrients remains locked in vegetation. In India, these forests are common in the Western Ghats, some parts of Eastern Himalayas, e.g., Assam region and Andamans.
