The major differences between montane forests and mangrove forests are as follows:

Montane forests Mangrove forests
1. The decrease in temperature with increasing altitude leads to the appearance of montane forests at higher altitude. 1. These forests are found in the coastal areas where mud and silt get accumulated.
2. These forests are mainly found along the southern slope of the Himalayas, places having high altitude in northern and north-east India. 2. The deltas of the Ganga, the Mahanadi, the Krishna, the Godavari and the Kaveri are covered by such vegetation.
3. Evergreen broad-leaf Oaks and Chestnuts are the common trees. Between 1500 and 3000 meters, temperate forest containing coniferous trees like pine, deodar, silver fir, spruce and cedar, are found. 3. Dense mangroves are the common varieties with roots of the plants submerged under water. Palm, coconut, keora, agar, also grow in some parts of the delta.
