Line 42: == Flora and fauna == About 25% of the region is closed forest, 25% open forest, 35% cultivated/agricultural, and the rest urban or built up.<ref name="dopa"/> Precipitation levels determine much of the forest character. Through the inland lowlands, the forests are moist deciduous, with 1,~~500-4~~500–4,000 mm of precipitation per year and with a four-six months of dry season. Because precipitation levels decline towards the east of Java, these forests are not as wet as in the west.<ref name="wwf"/> Typical trees in these moist deciduous forests include ''([[Homalium]] tomentosum)'', Silk trees ''([[Albizia]] lebbekoides)'', and Reonja ''([[Acacia leucophloea]])'', a 20–30 foot tree with yellow flowers. Along the southern coast of the ecoregion are semi-evergreen rain forests, with higher precipitation levels and only two-four months of dry season. Common south coast trees include ''([[Artocarpus elasticus]])'' (of the mulberry family), Yellow mahogany ''([[Dysoxylum caulostachyum]])'' and Duku ''([[Lansium parasiticum]])''. Along the northern coast precipitation levels are dryer (below 1,500 mm/year and with more than six months of dry season), resulting in a dry deciduous forest.<ref name="wwf"/>
