Natural Vegetation: Plants which grow on their own; without human intervention are called natural vegetation.
Wildlife: Animals which live in their natural habitat; usually away from human habitations; are called wildlife.
The flora and fauna of a place or in simple terms the plant and animal life of a place is affected by the climate of that place.
Effect of Altitude on Vegetation: There is a close relationship between the height of land and the character of vegetations. As the height increases we are not able to find the thick jungles of sal and teak. We can find tall trees with thin pointed leaves and cone shaped canopies on the mountain slopes. As the height increases further, we can find land covered with short grass and snow.
The growth of vegetation depends on:
Temperature
Moisture
Slope
Thickness of soil

Forest: An area of land which is densely covered with trees is called forest. This type of natural vegetation can be seen where temperature and rainfall are plentiful to support tree cover. Depending on temperature and rainfall, forests can be dense and open.
Grassland: These grow in the region of moderate rainfall. Tall trees are very few in grasslands.
Shrub: Thorny shrubs and scrubs grow in the dry region.
