Natural Vegetation in India Tropical Evergreen Rain Forests Deciduous or Monsoon Type of Forests Dry Deciduous Forests and Scrubs Semi Desert and Desert Vegetation Tidal or Mangrove Forests and Mountain Forests Types:
Tropical Evergreen Rain Forests They grow in areas where rainfall is more than 200 cm. found on the slopes of the Western Ghats and the north-eastern regions of Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Assam, Nagaland, the Tarai areas of the Himalayas and the Andaman groups of Islands. trees in these forests never shed their leaves all. The trees have dense growth. trees are sisthu, chaplash, rosewood, mahogany, bamboos, garjan and sandal wood.
Deciduous or Monsoon type of Forests They are found in areas where the rainfall is between 100 cm and 200 cm. grow on the lower slope of the Himalayas, Assam, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattishgarh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and the adjoining regions. Trees shed their leaves during dry-winter and dry-summer. Trees are teak, sal, sandal wood, deodar, bluegum, ebony, sisam, jack-fruit, mahua, palash, arjun, khair and bamboo.
Dry Deciduous Forests and Scrubs They grow in areas where the rainfall is between 50 cm and 100 cm found in areas of central Deccan plateau, south-east of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana and parts of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. Dwarf deciduous trees and long- grasses grow in these regions. Most of these areas are used for agriculture.
Semi-deserts and Deserts vegetation vegetation grow in areas where rainfall is less than 50 cm mostly thorny bushes, acacia, babul and sand binding grasses The Indian wild date, known as Khejur is common in these deserts. They have long roots and thick fleshy stems in which they store water to survive during the long drought. found in Rajasthan and parts of Gujarat, Punjab and Karnataka.
Tidal or Mangrove Forests grow along the coast and on the edges of the deltas, e.g. the deltas of the Ganga, Mahanadi, Godavari, Krishna and Kaveri. They are called Tidal Forests because their dense growth depends upon tidal water which submerges the deltaic lands during high tides. They are also known as Littoral Forests. In West Bengal these forests are known as Sundarbans. The sundri is most significant tree in these forests. other trees are hogla, garan, gewa, golpata, pasur, etc. Palm and coconut trees adorn the coastal strip
Mountain Forests They vary according to altitude with varying rainfall and temperature along the slopes of mountain. Himalayas up to a height of 1500 meters, evergreen trees, such as, sal, teak, bamboo and cane grow abundantly. It ranges between 1,500 meters to 3,500 meters, temperate conifer trees, such as, pine, fir, oak, maple, deodar, laurel, spruce and ceder. In higher altitude of the Himalayas, rhododendrons and junipers are found. Beyond these vegetation-belts, alpine grasslands appear up to snowfield.
