What is Characteristics of Tropical Thorn Forests about?
Tropical thorn forests are found in areas that receive less than 70 cm of annual rainfall. They feature stunted, open forests and thorny bushes. Important tree species include babul, kikar, khair, plums, cactus, and dates. These trees have long roots and sharp thorns that help them obtain moisture from deep in the ground and protect them from animals. Tropical thorn forests vary in height from 6 to 10 meters, becoming smaller bushes and shrubs with less rainfall towards the west and in the Thar Desert.
