Indian Forest cover map as of 2015. Tropical evergreen forests of India are found in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, [a] the Western Ghats, [b] which fringe the Arabian Sea, the coastline of peninsular India, and the greater Assam region in the north-east. [c] Small remnants of semi-evergreen forest are found in Odisha state.
D. The climate is very dry and decides the character of the vegetation; the properties of the soil are dominated by climate; the formations are also xerophilous: Class 9. Eremophytes (of formations on desert and steppe). Class 10. Psilophytes (of formations on savannah). Class 11. Sclerophyllous formations (bush and forest). E.
Adjoining the desert are the semi-arid areas, a transitional zone between the desert and the denser forests of the Western Ghats. The natural vegetation is thorn forest. This region is characterised by discontinuous vegetation cover with open areas of bare soil and soil-water deficit throughout the year.
An example of a vegetation type defined at the level of class might be "Forest, canopy cover > 60%"; at the level of a formation as "Winter-rain, broad-leaved, evergreen, sclerophyllous, closed-canopy forest"; at the level of alliance as "Arbutus menziesii forest"; and at the level of association as "Arbutus menziesii-Lithocarpus dense flora ...
Indian Forest cover map as of 2015. In 1992, 743,534 km 2 of land in the country was forested of which 92 percent was government land. This amounts to 22.7 percent land coverage, compared to the recommended 33 percent of the National Forest Policy Resolution 1952. The majority of trees are broad-leaved deciduous, with one-sixth sal and one ...
The system has been shown to fit not just tropical vegetation zones, but Mediterranean zones, and boreal zones too, but is less applicable to cold oceanic or cold arid climates where moisture becomes the predominant factor. The system has found a major use in assessing the potential changes in natural vegetation patterns due to global warming. [3]
Natural vegetation (flora) and animal life (fauna) depend mainly on climate, relief, and soil. Krishna and Godavari are the two largest rivers flowing through the state. The Andhra Pradesh Forest Department deals with protection, conservation and management of forests. [1] Sri Venkateswara National Park Tirumala Hills Nallamala Hills near Srisailam
