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 ...
Scientists estimate that more than half of all the world's plant and animal species live in tropical rainforests. 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 ...
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 ...
Daintree rainforest in Queensland is a seasonal tropical forest. Moist seasonal tropical forests receive high overall rainfall with a warm summer wet season and a cooler winter dry season. These forests usually fall under tropical monsoon or tropical savanna climates. Some trees in these forests drop some or all of their leaves during the ...
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.
Lianas can form bridges amidst the forest canopy, providing arboreal animals, including ants and many other invertebrates, lizards, rodents, sloths, monkeys, and lemurs with paths across the forest. For example, in the Eastern tropical forests of Madagascar, many lemurs achieve higher mobility from the web of lianas draped amongst the vertical ...
Borneo rainforest. Some tropical forest types are difficult to categorize. While forests in temperate areas are readily categorized on the basis of tree canopy density, such schemes do not work well in tropical forests. [1] There is no single scheme that defines what a forest is, in tropical regions or elsewhere.
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.
