	Chapter 23. South Asia
		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.
		The tropical dry deciduous forests occur from the foot of the Himalaya to Cape Comorin except in Rajasthan, the Western Ghats and Bengal.
		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.

		Most of the northern parts of the state are covered by the high Himalayan ranges and glaciers, while the lower reaches are densely forested.
		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.
		Below 1500 meters elevation lies western end of the drier Terai-Duar savanna and grasslands belt, and the Upper Gangetic Plains moist deciduous forests.

		The Gangetic Plain, which lies between the Himalayas and the Deccan Plateau; the basins of the Irrawaddy, Mekong, and Chao Phraya in Southeast Asia; and the basins of China’s great rivers, especially the Yangtze, Huang He, and Zhu Jiang rivers, are all densely settled.
		Farther south, the taiga merges with forests of broadleaf trees, or mixed forests of broadleaf and needleleaf trees.
		Although tropical rain forest predominates along the southern coastal strip and on the island of Sri Lanka, the eastern side of South Asia is characterized by semiarid tropical vegetation.

	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Upper Gangetic Plains moist deciduous forests (IM0166)
		Many years ago, the Upper Gangetic Plains Moist Deciduous Forests [IM0166] harbored impressive populations of tiger (Panthera tigris), greater-one horned rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), Asian elephants (Elephas maximus), gaur (Bos gaurus), and swamp deer (Cervus duvaucelli), to name but a few of the large vertebrates that used to roam here.
		The small patches of forests that are left suggest that much of the upper Gangetic Plains may have supported a tropical moist deciduous forest with sal (Shorea robusta) as a climax species.
		With the exception of a few forested landscapes along the Himalayan foothills, habitat fragmentation is too far advanced throughout much of the ecoregion to support viable populations of the larger predators and herbivores such as tigers and Asian elephants that used to be common here.

	Equal Earth - Paintings - Indo-Malayan
		Although heath forests are not easily converted to agriculture, more than half of this ecoregion has been cleared by logging and burning.
		Slash and burn is generally an inefficient way to grow food because a large area of forest is converted to scrub land and only a small proportion is used in any given year.
		Conversion of lowland evergreen forests through expansion of agricultural and residential areas is a major threat.

	physics - Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests
		Tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, also known as tropical rain forests, are a tropical and subtropical 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, and northern Australia), and Oceania (the tropical islands of the Pacific Ocean).
