Hint:
Forests are one of the main types of natural vegetation, including factors such as tree density, tree height, land use, legal status, and ecological function. There are different types of forest depending on the terrain and climate. Tropical deciduous forest is one of its species. In India, this forest is the most extensive.

Complete solution:
Monsoon forest also called dry forest or tropical deciduous forest is an open forest in the tropics with a long dry season followed by periods of high rainfall. Trees in monsoon forests usually shed their leaves during the dry season and enter their leaves at the beginning of the rainy season. The humidity in this forest ranges from 80-90 percentage, 30 degrees Celsius is the average temperature of a tropical deciduous forest

There are two types of deciduous forest:
- Wet deciduous forest - a mixture of trees and grass
- Dry deciduous forest

Main states where tropical deciduous forests are located:
- Madhya Pradesh
- Uttar Pradesh
- Chhattisgarh
- Odisha
- Maharashtra (several parts)

The three trees in the deciduous forest are:
- Sandalwood (which is used to extract essential oils)
- Teak (the wood is best suited for making patio and boat deck furniture)
- Ebony (from which the wooden ornaments are made)

Note:
 Temperate forests receive 30-60 inches of rainfall every year and are the rainiest biomes after tropical forests. Even though the average temperature is 50 ° F, winter temperatures are usually below zero. Trees in temperate deciduous forests are naturally deciduous.
