1. TROPICAL RAIN FOREST
Tropical Rain Forests occur in the areas which receive heavy rainfall. They are so
dense that sunlight doesn’t reach the ground.They always appear green and are
called evergreen forest. Important trees found in these forests are mahogany, ebony and rosewood. Andaman and Nicobar Islands, parts of North-Eastern states and a narrow strip of the Western slope of the Western Ghats are home of these forests.
2. TROPICAL DECIDUOUS FORESTS
In a large part of our country we have this type of forest. These forests are also called monsoon forests. They are less dense. They shed their leaves at a particular time of the year. Important trees of these forests are sal, teak, peepal, neem and shisham. They are found in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and in parts of
Maharashtra.
3. THORNY BUSHES
This type of vegetation is found in dry areas of the country. The leaves are in the form of spines to reduce the loss of water. Cactus, khair, babool, keekar are important and are found in the states of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Eastern slopes of Western Ghats and Gujarat.
4. MOUNTAIN VEGETATION
A wide range of species is found in the mountains according to the variation in height. With increase in height, the temperature falls. At a height between 1500 metres and 2500 metres most of the trees
are conical in shape. These trees are called coniferous trees. Chir, Pine and Deodar are important trees of these forests.
5. MANGROVE FORESTS
These forests can survive in saline water. They are found mainly in Sunderbans in West Bengal and in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Sundari is a well-known species of trees in mangrove forests after which Sunderbans have been named.
