热带季节林是亚洲季风区热带湿润林的一种类型。它还将集中讨论和总结目前关注的与其消耗和全球环境问题有关的问题。热带潮湿森林出现在多雨的热带和季风热带气候类型。热带湿润万年青林或热带雨林占热带湿润森林的三分之二，具有丰富的生物多样性，并含有宝贵的热带硬木。热带湿润落叶林或热带季节林沿着热带雨林的边缘，没有热带雨林那么复杂，有更明显的干湿期。阔叶落叶乔木属柚木，Shorea和Dipterocarpus主要是在这个森林类型。目前的估计发现，每年有1 700多万公顷的森林，主要是热带潮湿森林正在消失。人们普遍认识到，农业和焚烧热带潮湿森林是造成全球变暖的原因之一，但其程度远远低于发达国家燃烧化石燃料和工业活动。
This paper is intended to provide a brief review of the tropical seasonal forest, one type of the tropical moist forests in monsoon Asia. It will also focus on and summarise issues of current concern in relation to their depletion and global environmental issues. Tropical moist forests occur in the rainy tropical and monsoon tropical climate types. The tropical moist evergreen forest or the tropical rain forest, which account for two-thirds of the tropical moist forests are rich in biodiversity and contain valuable tropical hardwood. The tropical moist deciduous forest or the tropical seasonal forest which lie along the fringes of tropical rain forest, are less complex than the tropical rain forest and have more distinct wet and dry periods. Broadleaved deciduous trees of the genera Tectona, Shorea, and Dipterocarpus are predominantly in this forest type. Currently estimates have found that more than 17 million hectares of forest mainly tropical moist forests are being lost each year. There is a widespread recognition that agriculture and the burning of tropical moist forests contribute to global warming but to a much lesser extent than the combustion of fossil fuels and industrial activities in the developed world.
