Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
TTropical evergreen forests are better known as tropical rain forests. As the name suggests, these forests receive very high precipitation of above 200 cm annually. Mainly found in tropical areas, they are associated with warm summers and cold winters. The trees are tall and form a canopy, preventing even sunlight from reaching the forest floor. Cold climate is often associated with vegetation with adaptations to withstand the harsh winter weather. Vegetation is scarce in the forest at high latitudes because of the harsh climatic conditions. The evergreen vegetation has numerous species associated with it.
The correct statement is “Tropical evergreen forests are largely characterized by a warm and humid climate”.
