8. An evergreen forest is a forest consisting entirely
or mainly of evergreen trees that retain green
foliage all year round. Such forests reign the
tropics primarily as broadleaf evergreens, and
in temperate and boreal latitudes primarily
as coniferous evergreens.
Moist forest, montane forest, mossy forests, laurel
forest, cloud forest, fog forest, are generally tropical or
subtropical or mild temperate evergreen forest,
found in areas with high humidity and relatively
stable and mild temperatures, characterized by a
persistent, frequent or seasonal low-
level cloud cover, usually at the canopy level.
Cloud forests often exhibit an abundance
of mosses covering the ground and vegetation .
They have very long roots and are green

12. Deciduous means "falling off at maturity"[1] or "tending
to fall off",[2] and it is typically used in order to refer
to trees orshrubs that lose their leaves seasonally (most
commonly during autumn) and to the shedding of
other plant structures such as petals after flowering
or fruit when ripe. In a more general
sense, deciduous means "the dropping of a part that is
no longer needed" or "falling away after its purpose is
finished". In plants it is the result of natural processes.
"Deciduous" has a similar meaning when referring to
animal parts, such as
deciduous antlers in deer[3] or deciduous teeth, also
known as baby teeth, in some mammals (including
humans).

14. The Deccan thorn scrub
forests is a xeric
shrubland ecoregion of India an
d northernmost Sri Lanka, a
large area that was once forest
and home to large numbers of
elephants and tigers.

22. Mangroves are various large and extensive types of
trees up to medium height and shrubs that grow
in salinecoastal sediment habitats in
the tropics and subtropicsโmainly
between latitudes 25ยฐ N and 25ยฐ S. The remaining
mangrove forest areas of the world in 2000 was 53,190
square miles (137,760 kmยฒ) spanning 118 countries and
territories.[1][2]
Mangroves are salt tolerant trees (halophytes) adapted
to live in harsh coastal conditions. They contain a
complex salt filtration system and complex root system
to cope with salt water immersion and wave action.
They are adapted to the low oxygen (anoxic) conditions
of waterlogged mud.
The word is used in at least three senses: (1) most
broadly to refer to the habitat and entire plant
assemblage ormangal,[3][page needed] for which the
terms mangrove forest biome, mangrove
swamp and mangrove forestare also used, (2) to refer
to all trees and large shrubs in the mangrove swamp,
and (3) narrowly to refer to the mangrove family of
plants, the Rhizophoraceae, or even more specifically
just to mangrove trees of the genusRhizophora.
The mangrove biome, or mangal, is a distinct
saline woodland or shrubland habitat characterized
by depositionalcoastal environments, where fine
sediments (often with high organic content) collect in
areas protected from high-energy wave action. The
saline conditions tolerated by various mangrove species
range from brackish water, through pure seawater (30
to 40 ppt (parts per thousand)), to water concentrated
by evaporation to over twice the salinity of ocean
seawater (up to 90 ppt)
