Trees at Cat Tien National Park: showing seasonal forest structure in the early dry season (December) Seasonal forest in Northern Thailand. Seasonal (mixed) tropical forests can be found in many parts of the tropical zone, with examples found in: In the Asia-Pacific region: seasonal forests predominate across large areas of the Eastern Java ...
Tropical seasonal forests, also known as moist deciduous, monsoon or semi-evergreen (mixed) seasonal forests, have a monsoon or wet savannah climates (as in the Köppen climate classification): receiving high overall rainfall with a warm summer wet season and (often) a cooler winter dry season. Some trees in these forests drop some or all of ...
The seasonal semideciduous forest is a vegetation type that belongs to the Atlantic Forest biome (Inland Atlantic Forest), but is also found occasionally in the Cerrado. [1] Typical of central Brazil , it is caused by a double climatic seasonality: a season of intense summer rains followed by a period of drought.
Subtropical semi-evergreen seasonal forest in Doi Inthanon National Park, Northern Thailand, at the end of the dry season.. Species tend to have wider ranges than moist forest species, although in some regions many species do display highly restricted ranges; most dry forest species are restricted to tropical dry forests, particularly in plants; beta diversity and alpha diversity high but ...
The Upper Guinean forests is a tropical seasonal forest region of West Africa. The Upper Guinean forests extend from Guinea and Sierra Leone in the west through Liberia , Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana to Togo in the east, and a few hundred kilometers inland from the Atlantic coast.
The original tropical rainforests, which covered the planet's land surface, were the type of flora that covered Earth.Other canopy forests expanded north-south of the equator during the Paleogene epoch, around 40 million years ago, as a result of the emergence of drier, cooler climates.
The Mato Grosso tropical dry forests ecoregion is a transitional zone between the moist forests of the Amazon basin to the north and the Cerrado of the Brazilian Highlands to the south. The annual floods and periodic fires in the dry season form a complex mosaic of forest, grasslands and transitional vegetation. [ 5 ]
The coastal area is characterised by swamps and mangrove forests, while inland the tropical forests give way to grassland on the drier plateau area. The climate is equatorial with some rain all year round but the main rainy season falling between May and October. Most of the coastal area receives about 4,000 mm (157 in) of rain per year but ...
