Question

why are equatorial forests known as evergreen forests ? give a few example of trees found there

Answer 1

an evergreen is a plant that has leavesthroughout the year, always green. This is true even if the plant retains its foliage only in warm climates, and contrasts with deciduous plants, which completely lose their foliage during the winter or dry season. There are many different kinds of evergreen plants, both trees and shrubs. Evergreens include:

most species of conifers (e.g., pine, hemlock,blue spruce, red cedar, and white/scots/jack pine), but not all (e.g., larch)live oak, holly, and "ancient" gymnospermssuch as cycadsmost angiosperms from frost-free climates, such as eucalypts and rainforest trees
