Detailed Solution

The above statement is incorrect. Montane forests are found in northeastern India and not in the coastal region. The montane forests of India are generally classified into two types: the northern montane forests and the southern montane forests. The northern montane forests are located in northeastern India. Deciduous forests are mainly found in the foothills of the Himalayas. Temperate forests are found between 1,000 and 2,000 m altitude. Intermittent forests of Rhizophora mangle are found in tidal coastal areas. Mud and silt accumulate along such shorelines. Dense mangroves are the common varieties where the roots of the plants are submerged under water. The deltas of the Ganges, the Mahanadi, the Krishana, the Godavari, and thus the Kaveri are lined with such vegetation. Sundari trees are found in the delta of the Ganga Brahmaputra river, offering hard and hardwood.
The correct statement would be that montane forests are found in the Himalayan regions.
