NATURAL VEGETATION

1
Forest Types Terrain, climate, soil and water
conditions greatly influence the character and
type of vegetation. The Himalayan region,
possesses a variety of vegetation with a
distinctive character of alpine type at higher
altitudes and this region is clearly
distinguished from the rest of the country.
Climatic factors mainly temperature and rainfall
determine which plant community can flourish in a
specific habitat. Soils and drainage considerably
introduce modifications, and thus we have edaphic
types such as the tidal forests.
