Explanation

Tropical deciduous forests are also called monsoon forests because they are closely associated with monsoon climate regions. These forests shed their leaves during the dry season (a drought-deciduous adaptation) and regrow them when monsoon rains return. This seasonal leaf fall pattern is synchronized with the monsoon cycle, unlike evergreen rainforests or other forest types.
