Write short notes on Mangrove and Montane forests. Class 9 CBSE.
Answers
MONTANE RAINFOREST
Montane rainforests are found in mountainous areas within the tropical belt. At altitudes of 1000-2500 metres (lower montane) and 2500-3000 metres (upper montane, often cloud forest) these forests are usually cooler than lowland rainforest and are almost constantly dripping with moisture from the swirling clouds which engulf them. The trees in cloud forests do not grow so high as in lowland rainforest due to the cooler temperatures, but there are more ferns and epiphytic plants as these plants like moisture.

MANGROVE FOREST
Found in coastal areas, mangrove forests like saltwater and can tolerate periods of drought in the dry season. Mangrove trees can reach heights of 80 feet and are supported by stilt-like roots which raise the tree above the water. Mangrove forests provide shelter for wildlife in coastal waters and river systems, and help to aerate and cleanse the water. Unfortunately, vast areas of this coastal forest are removed to make way for shrimp farms which supply foreign markets such as ours.
