Answer:
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
Types of Natural Vegetation
Forests
Grasslands
Shrubs
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.
Types of Forests
Tropical Evergreen Forests
Tropical Deciduous Forests
Temperate Evergreen Forests
Temperate Deciduous Forests
Mediterranean Vegetation
Coniferous Forests
Tropical Evergreen Forests: These forests are also called the tropical rainforests. These forests are found in the regions near the equator and close to the tropics. These regions are hot and receive plenty of rainfall throughout the year. Since rainfall is throughout the year, there is no particular dry season. Hence the trees do not shed their leaves altogether and the trees always appear green. This is the reason they are called evergreen.The trees are closely spaced. Thick canopies of these closely spaced trees do not allow sunlight to penetrate inside the forest even in day time. The following hardwood trees are common here; rosewood, ebony, mahogany, etc.
Tropical Deciduous Forests: These are the monsoon forests. They are found in the large part of India, Northern Australia and Central America. These regions experience seasonal changes. Trees shed their leaves in the dry season to conserve water. Due to this, these are called deciduous trees. Sal, teak, neem and sheesham are the common trees found in this forest. Tiger, lion, elephant, etc. are the common animals.
Temperate Evergreen Forests: These are located in the mid-latitudinal coastal regions. They are commonly found along the eastern margin of the continents e.g., in south east USA, South China and in South East Brazil. They comprise both hard and softwood trees like; oak, pine, eucalyptus etc.
Temperate Deciduous Forests: These forests can be found towards higher latitudes. The areas where they are found include; North – eastern part of USA, China, New Zealand, Chile and Coastal regions of western Europe. Oak and birch are the common trees of thsi forest. Deer, fox and wolf are the common animals.
Coniferous Forests are also called "Taiga vegetation". It is found in areas of higher altitudes of Northern hemisphere. These forests consist of tall and softwood evergreen trees. Coniferous trees are conical shaped with needle shaped leaves.
