	Lower Gangetic plains moist deciduous forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lower Gangetic plains moist deciduous forests is a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion of Bangladesh and eastern India.
		The ecoregion is bounded on the east and northeast by montane tropical rain forests; the Mizoram-Manipur-Kachin rain forests lie in the Chin Hills and Chittagong Hills to the east, and the Meghalaya subtropical forests lie in the Khasi Hills and Garo Hills to the northeast.
		To the northwest, the forests are bounded by the Upper Gangetic plains moist deciduous forests, and the dry Chota Nagpur dry deciduous forests lie on the Chota Nagpur Plateau to the northwest.

	Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, also known as tropical wet forests and tropical rainforests, are a tropical and subtropical forest biome.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are found in a belt around the equator and in the humid subtropics, and are characterized by warm, humid climates with high year-round rainfall.
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are common in several terrestrial ecozones, including parts of the Afrotropic (equatorial Africa), Indomalaya (parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia), the Neotropic (northern South America and Central America), Australasia (eastern Indonesia, New Guinea, northern and eastern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).

		The mangrove littoral forests along the southern coast are of five types (fresh water mangrove, moderately saline mangrove, salt water mangrove and mangroves on rapidly accreting sand and mudflats or on low-lying offshore islands) and occupy numerous estuaries and offshore islands.
		Lower montane notophyllous dipterocarp rain forests are common in the wet zone, especially at an elevation between 900 and 1 525 m.
		Forest planning and management in the subregion is increasingly guided by national forest policies that recognize the need to set aside some forests for the conservation of biodiversity and plan for the remaining forests in a manner that tries to satisfy local needs while supporting resource sustainability.

	Upper Gangetic Plains moist deciduous forests - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Upper Gangetic Plains moist deciduous forests is a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion of northern India.
		It lies on the alluvial plain of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers, with an area of 263,100 square kilometers (101,600 square miles), covering most of the state of Uttar Pradesh and adjacent portions of Uttaranchal, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar.
		The ecoregion is currently densely populated, and the fertile plains have largely been converted to intensive agriculture, with only a few enclaves of forest remaining.

		In its primeval state the truly lowland wet evergreen forests of this subregion exhibits four storeys: the emergent trees (60 m), the dominant and codominant trees in the second storey (45 m), an intermediate layer of trees with canopies between 23 m and to 30 m and the suppressed vegetation.
		Tropical moist deciduous forests occur mainly in India, Nepal and Bangladesh in zones where the mean temperatures of the year vary from 20 to 30°C and rainfall between 1 300 and 2 000 mm, and with a dry season of 4–5 months.
		Moist teak forests as a rule are a mixture of species, although relatively pure associations in the upper canopy are fairly frequent.

	Uttaranchal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most of the northern parts of the state are part of Greater Himalya ranges, covered by the high Himalayan peaks and glaciers, while the lower foothills were densely forested till denuded by the British log merchants and forest contractors after independence.
		Other ethnic communities in the region include Nepali who have arrived over the past century from the neighbouring country of Nepal, and the Tibatan migrants settled called as the Jadh, Marcha and Shauka on the Indo-Tibetan frontier, collectively known as the Bhotiya, and nomadic cattle herders known as Gujjar in the southern Terai region.
		Uttaranchal lies on the south slope of the mighty Himalaya range, and the climate and vegetation vary greatly with elevation, from glaciers at the highest elevations to tropical forests at the lower elevations.

		The remaining forest is scattered throughout the landscape as small patches, mainly restricted to the steep slopes of the volcanoes.
		As a result of forest fragmentation and degradation, no sizable populations of large mammals exist here anymore, and the future for birds is no better unless their habitats are protected.
		The conversion of forests to agricultural land, along with hunting, the collection of rare species for sale, and inadequate management of existing protected areas, are the main threats to this region.

	Bamboo diversity and conservation in India - Sas Biswas
		Indiscriminate removal of forest cover has resulted in the domination vis-a-vis gregarious growth of certain species of bamboo and thus the reduced species diversity in natural areas of their occurrence.
		Forests and rural areas of Northeastern and Eastern India comprising the political territories of the States of West Bengal, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura have over 50% of the bamboo species of the Indian floristic region.
		The occurrence of temperate type of forests at lower altitudes in Shillong Plateau may be attributed to the fact that climatic factors with regard to altitude vary from one mountain to the others (Biswas 1988).
