- 6. Evergreen, deciduous, thorn, montane and mangrove forests.
- 7. India has a rich variety of natural vegetation, shaped mainly by relief and climate, especially rainfall. Tropical evergreen forests grow in regions of very heavy rainfall and remain green throughout the year, since their trees do not all shed leaves at once. Tropical deciduous forests, the most widespread type in India, shed their leaves during the dry season to conserve water. In dry regions with little rainfall, thorn forests and shrubs are found, with hardy, spiny plants suited to drought. Montane forests grow in the mountains and change in character with increasing altitude, from broad-leaved trees lower down to conifers and alpine vegetation higher up. Finally, mangrove forests grow in the muddy, salty conditions of coastal areas and deltas. This variety reflects the diverse climate and landforms of the country.
