Evergreen forest ==>
evergreen forests are found on the eastern and western slopes of the Western Ghats in such states as Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra.
The tropical evergreen forests usually occur in areas receiving more than 200 cm of rainfall and having a temperature of 15 to 30 degrees Celsius.
Evergreen forests are important for the protection and sustenance they provide for a wide variety of species ranging from birds to mammals.
Temperate coniferous or evergreen forests exist in places that have warm
summers
Deciduous forest ==>
Forests where a majority of the trees lose their foliage at the end of the typical growing season are called deciduous forests.
Deciduous biomes are located primarily in the eastern half of the United States, Canada, Europe, parts of Russia, China, and Japan.
The word "Deciduous" means "falling off or out at a certain season".
Deciduous forest, vegetation composed primarily of broad-leaved trees
