    Introduction

    India is the 7th largest country with an area of


    3.28 million sq. It has a variety of topography,
    climatic conditions, land and soil. Various
    climatic conditions and types of soil provide us
    with different types of vegetation . Its various
    types are: 1)Evergreen Forest 2) Deciduous
    Forest 3) Mangrove Forest 4) Montane Forest 5)
    Tropical thorn forest.
    The natural vegetation
    of India based on the
    geographical locations.

    They are restricted to the areas of heavy rainfall and


    are best in the areas having more than 200cm of
    rainfall with a short dry season . These are thus found
    in the western ghats, Lakshadweep , Andaman and
    Nicobar islands and in the upper parts of Assam and
    Tamil Nadu. The trees reach great heights up to 60m
    or more and it includes a luxuriant vegetation of all
    kinds like trees, shrubs and creepers giving it a
    multilayered structure. Since there this no fi xed time
    for the trees to shed leaves it remains green all the
    year as the name says . Some of the commercially
    important trees are ebony, mahogany, rosewood,
    rubber and cinchona. The animals found here include
    elephants, monkeys, lemurs, deer, one horned
    rhinoceroses and plenty of birds, bats, sloths,
    scorpions, snails etc.
    Tropical
    Deciduous
    Forest
    Tropical deciduous forests occur in regions with heavy
    rainfall for part of the year followed by a marked dry
    season. These forest formations are dense and lush
    during the wet summers but become a dry landscape
    during the dry winters when most trees shed their
    leaves .Moist deciduous forests are found in the
    eastern part of the country such as northeastern
    states along the foothills of the Himalayas, Jharkhand,
    West Orissa and Chhattisgarh and on the eastern
    slopes of the Western Ghats .Maple, oak, and elm are
    examples of deciduous forests. The common animals
    found are lion, tiger, pig, deer and elephant. A huge
    variety of birds, lizards, snakes, and tortoises are also
    found here .Teak is the most dominant species of the
    tropical deciduous forests. Other commercially
    important species of this forest are Bamboo, Sal,
    Mangrove
    Forest

    The tidal mangrove forests are found in


    the areas of coasts influenced by
    tides. Mud and silt get accumulated in
    such areas. The most prevalent type of
    mangrove is dense mangrove, with plant
    roots immersed in water. Such vegetation
    covers the deltas of the Ganga, Mahanadi,
    Krishna, Godavari,
    and Kaveri rivers. Palm, coconut, keora,
    agar, also grow in some parts of the
    delta.
    Montane
    Forests

    Montane forests are ecosystems found in


    mountainous regions, typically between the
    elevations of 1,000 to 3,500 meters (3,300 to 11,500
    feet) above sea level, although this can vary. They
    are characterized by their cool temperatures, high
    humidity, and diverse fl ora and fauna. Montane
    forests often feature a mix of evergreen and
    deciduous trees, such as conifers and broadleaf
    species. These forests play a crucial role in
    maintaining biodiversity, regulating water fl ow, and
    providing habitats for many species, adapting to the
    unique conditions of high altitude environments.
    Tropical Thorn
    Forest
    The thorn forests and scrubs are found in regions
    with less than 70 cm of rainfall. These forests, thus,
    exist in the north-western part of the country
    including semi-arid regions of Gujarat, Rajasthan,
    Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh and
    Haryana . The main plant species found in these
    forests are acacias, cacti, euphorbias and palms .
    Trees are scattered and have long roots penetrating
    deep into the soil in order to get moisture . The
    stems are succulent to conserve water . Leaves are
    mostly thick and small . The common animals found
    in these forests are rat, mice, rabbits, fox, wolf,
    tiger, lion, horses and camels.
