  • Tropical rainforests
    • Tropical rainforests are rainforests that are found in areas in which there is no dry season.
    • All months have an average precipitation of at least 60 mm.
    • The Tropical rain forests are roughly located within 28° north or south of the equator, spread in Asia, Australia, Africa, South America, Central America, Mexico, and on many of the Pacific Islands.
    • Trees that grow above the general canopy, may have heights of 45–55 m, although on occasion a few species will grow to 70–80 m tall.
  • Coniferous forests
    • Coniferous forests are predominantly made up of conifers which are the toughest and longest-living trees in the world. 
    • Such forests provide valuable softwood timber for commerce.
    • The trees in coniferous forests grow straight and tall.
    • The coniferous trees attain a height of about 30 m while the broad-leaved trees reach only 10 m.
  • Deciduous forests
    • The deciduous trees lose their leaves during the dry season just a few months before the advent of summer rains.
    • The monsoon forest average 15m high with no continuous canopy of leaves.
