Changes in soil conditions have given birth to peculiar types of vegetation in many areas. Large areas of forests are depleting every year due to continuous felling and burning of trees for increasing area for cultivation and settlement. Overgrazing has also resulted into depletion of natural vegetation in several areas. Natural vegetation in India is influenced by altitude (in the Himalayan region) and rainfall.
