tropical dry forest

Definition

Diverse ecosystem consisting mainly of deciduous trees which, unlike the evergreen trees, shed their foliage in dry season. Now occupying only a fraction of its original ranges in Central America and Southern Mexico, tropical dry forests are one of the most threatened parts of the earth's environment.
