Explanation
In India, Teak is a dominant tree species in Tropical Moist Deciduous Forests.
Tropical Moist Deciduous Forests are found in regions that receive rainfall between 1000-2000 mm annually, and the trees in this forest type shed their leaves during the dry season. These forests are widely distributed in India and are found in areas such as central India, parts of the Eastern Ghats, and the Chhota Nagpur plateau.
Teak (Tectona grandis) is a tropical hardwood tree species that is native to India, Indonesia, and Southeast Asia. It is well-suited to grow in the moist and deciduous conditions of the tropical moist deciduous forests of India. Teak is a valuable timber tree and is widely used for furniture making and construction. It is a major source of revenue for the forest departments in several states of India.
