Explanation: Dry deciduous forest covers vast areas of the country, where rainfall ranges between 70 -100 cm.

• On the wetter margins, it has a transition to the moist deciduous, while on the drier margins to thorn forests.
• As the dry season begins, the trees shed their leaves completely and the forest appears like vast grassland with naked trees all around.
• Tendu, palas, amaltas, bel, khair, axlewood, etc. are the common trees of these forests.
