Answer» (a) Tidal forests are the forests that grow in Delta regions of Ganga, Godawari, Mahanadi, Krishna, and Kaveri. These trees have stilt like roots which support the plants during high tide. These forests grow in salt water. Two typical trees found here are Sundri and Hintal. (b) Two main characteristics of the Deciduous Monsoon forests are : 1. They shed their leaves before the summer season. 2. They tend to occur in pure stands. (c) Tropical Evergreen forests are found in the western part of the Western Ghats. They are named so because they remain green throughout the year as they do not have any particular season to shed their leaves and also because they grow in the regions receiving rainfall of more than 250 cm. (d) Three methods for the conservation and development of forests are : 1. Check indiscriminate deforestation. 2. Banning of shifting cultivation. 3. Prevention of overgrazing. |
