Semi-Evergreen Forests

 

 



This forest type is spread over an area of 20 sq. km approximately. There is no clear-cut area of semi evergreen forests. These forests appeared to be ecological zones in areas where the moist deciduous forests merge with evergreen. Thus these forests represent a transitional zone between evergreen and moist deciduous forests. Lofty trees with thick and buttressed tree trunks are found growing with cylindrical bole. The ground floor of semi evergreen forests receives more light than the ground floor of evergreen forests, due to comparatively lighter canopy. Due to variation in the mixture of species of evergreen forests and deciduous Forests, it becomes difficult to determine the exact status of these forests.
