Question

Why are tropical evergreen forests not very important economically?

Answer 1

1. The trees are not found in pure stands; thus, commercial exploitation proves to be very expensive.
2. These are hardwood trees, i.e., they do not float on water.
3. Its warm and wet climate throughout the year paves the way for thick vegetation, so there is a lack of transport facilities. Thus, these forests do not encourage exploitation economically.
