Grey foam-nest tree frogs dislike arid conditions and need humidity to survive; however, they can still be found in dry environments such as: dry forests, miombo, mopane, savannah, and cultivated areas in low altitudes. [5] They are able to survive dry seasons under loose bark, hence why they are referred to as tree frogs. [4]
Subtropical semi-evergreen seasonal forest in Doi Inthanon National Park, Northern Thailand, at the end of the dry season.. Species tend to have wider ranges than moist forest species, although in some regions many species do display highly restricted ranges; most dry forest species are restricted to tropical dry forests, particularly in plants; beta diversity and alpha diversity high but ...
Plant communities on the northern islands include grassland on young volcanic soils. Older and lower-elevation lava flows are colonized by the tree Casuarina equisetifolia, known locally as gagu, and the fern Nephrolepsis hirsutula. Small patches of Pisonia grandis forest can be found on the four younger islands which are free of grazing goats. [2]
The climate is tropical and dry, with rainfall ranging from 575 to 1,330 mm per year, and a marked dry season from May to October. [ 2 ] To the north, the succulent woodlands make a transition into the Madagascar dry deciduous forests , while to the south they border the even drier Madagascar spiny thickets , and to the east the Madagascar ...
Seasonal tropical forest, also known as moist deciduous, semi-evergreen seasonal, tropical mixed or monsoon [1] forest, typically contains a range of tree species: only some of which drop some or all of their leaves during the dry season. This tropical forest is classified under the Walter system as (i) tropical climate with high overall ...
The presence of savanna plants like Tamilnadia uliginosa and Antidesma ghaesembilla suggests origin of a now nonexistent savanna. [6] The Sri Lanka dry-zone dry evergreen forests are made up mostly of evergreen trees, which distinguish them from the deciduous trees that characterize most other tropical dry broadleaf forest ecoregions.
Drought deciduous plant species can be found in the most part of Europe, the eastern part of North and South America, Southern part of Africa and Southern and Eastern part of Asia, [17] particularly temperate regions that require the plants to cope with water shortages over the course of dry seasons. [18] Common deciduous plant species, either ...
The Marañón dry forests (NT0223) is an ecoregion in northern Peru. It covers the lower valley of the Marañón River and its tributaries along the eastern edge of the Andes . It has a dry climate due to rain shadow from mountains further east.
