Natural Vegetation of India:
- Natural vegetation refers to a plant community unaffected by man either directly or indirectly. It exists in a specific natural environment.
- Natural vegetation includes all plant life forms that grow naturally in an area and have been left undisturbed by humans for a long time, such as trees, bushes, herbs and forbs, and so on.
- Because of variations in climatic conditions, soil types, and relief features, India has a diverse range of forests and natural vegetation.
- The Western Ghats and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands have tropical rain forests; the Himalayas have temperate vegetation; Rajasthan's desert and semi-desert regions have a diverse range of bushes and thorny vegetation; and the Delta regions have tropical forests and mangroves.
