Chir is the pre-dominant species of which forests?

Sub-tropical Dry Evergreen Forests
Sub-tropical Pine Forests
Himalayan Moist Temperate Forests
Sub-alpine and Alpine Forests

The correct answer is: B. Sub-tropical Pine Forests.

Chir is a type of pine tree that is found in the sub-tropical pine forests of India and Pakistan. These forests are characterized by their dry, hot summers and mild, wet winters. The trees in these forests are adapted to these conditions by having thick, waxy leaves that help to retain water. Chir forests are an important habitat for a variety of animals, including deer, wild boar, and monkeys. They are also a source of timber and fuelwood.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • A. Sub-tropical Dry Evergreen Forests are characterized by their evergreen trees, which means that they keep their leaves all year round. Chir trees are deciduous, which means that they lose their leaves in the winter.
  • C. Himalayan Moist Temperate Forests are found in the Himalayas, which are a mountain range in Asia. Chir forests are found in the Indian subcontinent, which is a landmass in South Asia.
  • D. Sub-alpine and Alpine Forests are found in the high mountains, where the climate is cold and dry. Chir forests are found in the lowlands, where the climate is warmer and wetter.
