Solution
- The trees in the tropical forest have hardwood. Also, these forests are evergreen and dense.
- Tropical deciduous or monsoon forests are not dense. Many bushes grow at the base of these forests. Since these forests are near agricultural lands and densely populated regions, they have been deforested for agricultural purpose on a large scale.
- Whereas, in the coniferous region, only one species of trees is found in an area. These trees grow tall and have softwood.
- Therefore, Lumbering is practised more in coniferous region than in tropical region.
