The Deccan thorn scrub forests are a xeric shrubland ecoregion of south India and northern Sri Lanka. Historically this area was covered by tropical dry deciduous forest, but this only remains in isolated fragments. The vegetation now consists ofmainly of southern tropical thorn scrub type forests. These consist of open woodland with thorny trees with short trunks and low, branching crowns; spiny and xerophytic shrubs; and dry grassland. This is the habitat of the great Indian bustard and blackbuck, though these and other animals are declining in numbers; this area was at one time home to large numbers of elephants and tigers. Almost 350 species of bird have been recorded here. The remaining natural habitat is threatened by overgrazing and invasive weeds, but there are a number of small pr

  • Els boscos d'arbusts espinosos del Dècan són una ecoregió xèrica de terres arbustives del sud de l'Índia i el nord de Sri Lanka. Històricament, aquesta zona estava coberta per un bosc tropical caducifoli sec, però d'això només en queden fragments aïllats. La vegetació actualment consta principalment de boscos de tipus sud-tropicals d'espines i fulles coriàcies. Aquests consisteixen en un bosc obert amb arbres espinosos amb troncs curts i branques ramificades baixes; arbustos espinosos i xerofítics; i prats secs. Aquest és l'hàbitat del gran pioc salvatge de l'Índia i l'antílop negre, encara que la població d'aquests i altres animals disminueixen en nombre; aquesta zona va ser en un temps llar de gran quantitat d'elefants i tigres. Aquí s'han registrat gairebé 350 espècies d'aus. L'hàbitat natural restant està amenaçat per la sobrepastura i les espècies vegetals invasores, però hi ha diversos petits rogles de zones protegides que proporcionen un oasi per a la vida salvatge. Aquests arbres s'han adaptat i no necessiten gaire aigua. (ca)

  • Le foreste spinose del Deccan sono un'ecoregione dell'ecozona indomalese, definita dal WWF, che si estende attraverso l'India e l'estremità meridionale dello Sri Lanka (codice ecoregione: IM1301). In passato quest'area era ricoperta da una foresta decidua secca tropicale, della quale rimangono ormai piccole sacche isolate. Attualmente la vegetazione consiste soprattutto da foreste di tipo arbustivo spinoso tropicale meridionale, costituite da aree boschive aperte con alberi spinosi caratterizzati da tronco breve e da basse chiome ramificate, boscaglie xerofile e spinose e praterie aride. Questo è l'habitat prediletto dell'otarda indiana e dell'antilope cervicapra, anche se queste due specie, così come molte altre che vivono in queste zone, sono fortemente diminuite di numero. In passato la stessa zona ospitava un gran numero di elefanti e di tigri. Qui sono state censite quasi 350 specie di uccelli. Le poche zone di vegetazione originaria rimaste sono minacciate dal pascolo eccessivo e dalle erbe invasive, ma fortunatamente vi è un certo numero di piccole aree protette che forniscono riparo agli animali selvatici.
