An area of tropical monsoon climate (occasionally known as a sub-equatorial, tropical wet climate or a tropical monsoon and trade-wind littoral climate) is a tropical climate subtype that corresponds to the Köppen climate classification category Am. Tropical monsoon climates have monthly mean temperatures above 18 °C (64 °F) in every month ...
The WGSRPD places the flora of the rest of Asia into Category:Flora of temperate Asia (Asia-Temperate). Native taxa of the lowest rank are included if they occur widely in the botanical continent, otherwise they should be included in the flora of one or more of the constituent regions. Higher taxa are included only if endemic.
Seasonal (mixed) tropical forests can be found in many parts of the tropical zone, with examples found in: In the Asia-Pacific region: seasonal forests predominate across large areas of the Eastern Java, Wallacea, Indian subcontinent and Indochina. Eastern Java monsoon forests; Wallacea Forest; Brahmaputra Valley semi-evergreen forests
In tropical Asia, the Himalayas are crucial to the provision of water during the continental monsoon season in Asia. [1] [2] Augmented temperatures and seasonal variability could cause a backdrop of glaciers and increasing danger from glacial lake outburst floods. Then, a diminution of average flow of snow-fed rivers, mixed with an increase in ...
Tropical seasonal forests, also known as moist deciduous, monsoon or semi-evergreen (mixed) seasonal forests, have a monsoon or wet savannah climates (as in the Köppen climate classification): receiving high overall rainfall with a warm summer wet season and (often) a cooler winter dry season. Some trees in these forests drop some or all of ...
Note: The continent of Asia is not a geographical unit employed in the World Geographical Scheme for Recording Plant Distributions. The following categories should be used instead where the information is available: Category:Flora of temperate Asia; Category:Flora of tropical Asia
Siberia is one of the coldest places in the Northern Hemisphere, and can act as a source of arctic air mass for North America. The most active place on Earth for tropical cyclone activity lies northeast of the Philippines and south of Japan, and the phase of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation modulates where in Asia landfall is more likely to occur.
A map of forests, vegetation and land use in Cambodia. Cambodia has one of the highest levels of forest cover in the region as the interdependence of Cambodia’s geography and hydrology makes it rich in natural resources and biological diversity - among the bio-richest countries in Southeast Asia.
