Question

Answer the following question.
Why are tropical evergreen forests not very important economically?

Answer 1

Tropical evergreen forests are not very important economically because :

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 way for thick vegetation so, there is a lack of transport facilities. Thus, these forests do not encourage exploitation economically.
