Keerthi: They are tropical forests. Trees have characteristics of
temperate type
Hmmm....as far as I remember (a)
stands correct; Keerti has given some clarification; but will check with
mentors who had geography optional.
Sir, what I have read is, they leave in tropical area, on mountain at
height of 1000 meter around making it tropical montane forests of South India.
However as Keerthi has said and as it happens in case of altitude, Vegetation
involved is mainly temperate in nature.
NCERT also says
something like what Keerthi said. But I couldn't somehow digest it. Why call
something tropics if they have temperate characteristics! :D
Classification is done on temperature, some do on rainfall, and then
others do on type of vegetation. So what we have is a complex mixture of type. :D
Agreed...
Starting right from the Western Ghats Range, Maharashtra to Karnataka and Kerala down south. These montane rain forests houses a wide variety of flora and fauna. Click here to know more about rain forests in India.
