  Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This biome is alternately known as the tropical and subtropical dry forest biome or the tropical and subtropical deciduous forest biome.
Dry forests tend to exist north and south of the equatorial rainforest belt, south of the subtropical deserts, generally in two bands, one between 10° and 20°N latitude and the other between 10° and 20°S latitude.
Dry forests of Madagascar and New Caledonia are also highly distinctive (pronounced endemism and a large number of relictual taxa) for a wide range of taxa and at higher taxonomic levels.

 Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Apure-Villavicencio dry forests (NT0201)
The Apure/Villavicencio dry forests extend southwest, bordering the eastern Cordillera de Mérida, from Venezuela to the Serranía de Macarena in Colombia.
The dry forests lie between elevations of 130 and 400 m, with the lower areas located on the eastern side of the ecoregion.
These dry forests represent a transitional area between the llanos savannas and the montane forests of the eastern Andes, and are host to a number of endemic species.

The entire region is subjected to two strong and contrasting seasons, a wet season with torrential rains that often cause rivers to overflow and flood most of the savanna, and a dry season with prolonged drought that causes intense fires (Berroterán 1985).
Dry tropical forest is common here and has a similar floristic composition to that of the bancos.
The period between January and April is the dry season when all the water bodies shrink or disappear entirely, with the only permanent water being in the esteros and lagoons.

Dry forests are highly sensitive to excessive burning and deforestation; overgrazing and exotic species can also quickly alter natural communities; restoration is possible but challenging, particulary if degradation has been intense and persistent.

Annual precipitation is concentrated between April and November and ranges from 45 inches (1,100 mm) in Ciudad de Nutrias in the central plains to 180 inches (4,570 mm) in Villavicencio near the Andes.
Most mammals nest in the gallery forests and feed on the grassland; among these are included several species of deer and rabbit, as well as the anteater, armadillo, tapir, jaguar, and capybara, which is the world's largest living rodent.
Its tropical wet and dry climate brings rainfall favorable to the growing of corn and dryland rice in the wet season (April to October) and to paddy rice, tobacco, and sesame in the dry season (November to March).

It is made up of the highly forested Cordillera Oriental of the Andes and low-lying tropical plains, covered by rain forests and drained by the Amazon River and its tributaries.
The rain forests of the Amazon River basin occupy all the north and north central portions of Brazil.
With the opening of the interior in the 1970s and 80s, these rain forests were heavily cut and burned for industrial purposes, farming, and grazing land.

 TROPICAL AND SUBTROPICAL DRY BROADLEAF FORESTS FACTS AND INFORMATION
tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests facts and information
Three tropical dry broadleaf forest ecoregions, the East_Deccan_dry_evergreen_forests the Sri_Lanka_dry-zone_dry_evergreen_forests, and the Southeastern_Indochina_dry_evergreen_forests, are characterized by evergreen trees.
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 typically lower than adjacent moist forests.
