compression between Uttar Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya on the basis of flora and fauna
Answers
Answer:Uttar Pradesh is a state rich in flora and fauna. It has an amazing variety of some 1,000 woody plants, including 3,000 trees, 400 shrubs, and 100 woody climbers.
More than 200 species of grasses have been identified in the Gangetic plains along with a rich supply of herbs and valuable medicinal plants. The variegated topography and climate of Uttar Pradesh is conducive for the upkeep of an enormous variety of animal life.
Meghalaya harbours about 3,128 species of flowering plants and contributes about 18% of the total flora of the country, including 1,237 endemic species (Khan et al 1997). A wide variety of wild cultivable plants, edible fruits, leafy vegetables and orchids are found in the natural forests of Meghalaya. However due to overexploitation, deforestation and habitat destruction many endemic and threatened species are now mainly confined to the protected areas and sacred groves.
Arunachal Pradesh is famous for rare species of orchids, which are found in all types of forests, altitudinal ranges, and rainfall conditions. The many unspoilt tree-clad slopes contain tigers, leopards, elephants, deers, bears and apes. The Mithun, or ‘bos frontalis’ exists both in wild and semi-domesticated form.
