These are the most widespread forests of India. They are also called the monsoon forests
and spread over the region receiving rainfall between 200 cm and 70 cm. Trees of this
forest type shed their leaves for about six to eight weeks in dry summer. On the basis of the
availability of water, these forests are further divided into moist and dry deciduous. The
former is found in areas receiving rainfall between 200 and 100 cm. These forests exist,
therefore, mostly in the eastern part of the country — northeastern states, along the
foothills of the Himalayas, Jharkhand, West Odisha and Chhattisgarh, and on the eastern
slopes of the Western Ghats. Teak is the most dominant species of this forest. Bamboos,
sal, shisham, sandalwood, khair, kusum, arjun and mulberry are other commercially
important species. The dry deciduous forests are found in areas having rainfall between 100
cm and 70 cm. These forests are found in the rainier parts of the peninsular plateau and the
plains of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. There are open stretches, in which teak, sal, peepal and
neem grow. A large part of this region has been cleared for cultivation and some parts are
used for grazing.
