Formation of tropical forests needs mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation as

A

`18 - 25^(@)C` and `150 - 400 cm`

B

`5 - 15^(@)C` and `50 - 100 cm`

C

`30 - 50^(@) C` and `100 - 150 cm`

D

`5 - 15^(@) C` and `100 - 200 cm`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Temperature and precipitation are generally most important climate abiotic factors that influence the geographical distribution of plants. Average temperature decreases from equator to the poles. Precipitation includes rainfall, snow, dew, etc. Tropical forests, which are very productive, need 18 to `25^(@)C` mean annual temperature and 150-400 cm mean annual rainfall.

In the tropical rainforest, the majority of trees have showy animal-pollinated flowers. In temperate forests the majority of trees are wind pollinated. Which factors best explain these contrasting patterns ? (i) Wind is rare in tropical forests. (ii) Because of high species diversity in the tropics, individuals of trees species are often widely separated making wind an inefficient means of pollen dispersal. (iii) More opportunities for coevolved mutualisms exist in tropical forests because of the high diversity of animal species. (iv) Trees in tropical forests are mostly evergreen and year-round leaf canopies impede pollen dispersal by wind. (v) Flowering in tropical forests occurs over a short period of time when wind is absent. (a) (i) , (ii) and (v) (b) (i),(iii) and (v) (c) (ii), (iii) and (iv) (d) (ii) and (iv)
