Subtropical Dry Deciduous (38.2%)
Tropical Moist Deciduous (30.3%)
Subtropical Thorn (6.7%)
Tropical Wet Evergreen forests (5.8%)
Other categories (Pine, Temperate and Alpine, Tropical semi evergreen) – 17.5%
A large number of trees are planted during the afforestation process. On one hand, it helps the environment by reducing the CO2 level. On the other hand, the fruit bearing trees becomes the source of food for a large country like India.
