Quercus species are the dominant component in 

  • temperature deciduous forests

  • alpine forests

  • scrub forests

  • tropical rain forests

Solution

A.

temperature deciduous forests

Temperate deciduous forests grow in continental climates with summer rainfall and severe winters. They are dominated by broad-leaved deciduous trees like Quercus Virginiana, magnolias, boys and allies as well as such tropical species as Ficus aurea, Lysiloma, Tropical rainforests occupy low altitude zones near the equator where annual rainfall exceeds 80' and 90' distributed over the year. Thress generally from three storeys scattered very tall emergent trees. Canopy layer and understorey stratum.
Tropical scrub forests develop in areas where moisture relations are intermediate between desert and savanna on one hand and rainforest on other.
