To understand subtropical forest we should know what the term subtropics means.

The subtropics are geographic and climate zones located roughly between the tropics at latitude 23.5° (the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn) and temperate zones (normally referring to latitudes 35–66.5°) north and south of the Equator.

The forests found in these areas are termed as subtropical forests.

Subtropical forests are in areas outside of the strict equatorial region—but either within or bordering the tropical zone—and have more noticeable seasonal changes. Although temperatures may vary only slightly over a year, rainfall may be distributed unevenly so that wet and dry seasons occur. However, the annual rainfall is still high. Subtropical rainforests occur in Central America, the West Indies, India, Madagascar, mainland Southeast Asia, and the Philippines. In the United States.
