Semideciduous tropical forests also develop in a moist climate, with an 80–90 percent relative air humidity and no less than 1,500–2,000 mm of precipitation annually. The forest canopy is lower than that of a rain forest, but there is a very diverse species composition, including lianas ...
FOREST successionLIDARDECIDUOUS plantsNATIONAL parks & reservesChronosequence changes among Tropical Dry Forests (TDFs) are essential for understanding this unique ecosystem, which is characterized by its seasonality (wet and dry) and a high diversity of deciduous trees and shrubs. From 2005 to ...
What are some endemic species in a temperate rainforest biome? What animals are in the forest biome? What is the Southeast Asian rainforest? What is grown in the wet tropical forest in Africa? What animals are found in a deciduous forest biome? What are the endangered species in the tropic...

rainfall intensity and frequency may vary considerably within the short-wet season itself, implying that even the deciduous trees may face drought stress (Murphy and Lugo1995; Bullock et al.1995). Such strong variability in rainfall and the existence of extended dry spells (water stress) have sig...

In the other tropical forest types that are drier or cooler than true rain forest, or on extreme sites, there is more seasonal plant behavior, shorter trees, more deciduous trees, and fewer species, but plant diversity is still higher than outside the tropics. Animals...
