Which are the three broad categories of natural vegetation? Explain
Answers
The Natural vegetation with the features can be describes in three categories as follows:
FORESTS
Tropical Evergreen Forests:
Tropical rainforests,
Regions near the equator close to the tropics,
receive heavy rainfall,
no dry season,
trees do not shed leaves together
Tropical Deciduous Forests:
Tropical deciduous monsoon forests,
seasonal changes,
trees shed leaves in dry season to conserve water
Hardwood trees are found here
Temperate Evergreen Forests:
Mid Latitudinal coastal region,
Common along the eastern margin of the continents
Temperate Deciduous Forests:
North eastern part of USA, China, New Zealand, Chile and also found in coastal regions of Western Europe
They shed their leaves in dry season
Mediterranean Vegetation:
Areas around Mediterranean Sea in Europe, Africa and Asia
Hot dry summer
Mild rainy winters
Coniferous Forests
Also called as Taiga forests
found at higher latitudes(50º-70º) in northern hemisphere
Tall softwood evergreen trees
GRASSLANDS
Tropical grasslands:
grow on either sides of the equator,
Areas of moderate to low amount of rainfall,
Grasses about 3 to 4 metres
Temperate grasslands:
Found in the mid latitudinal zones and in interior part of continent,
grasses are short and nutritious
SHRUBS
Thorny bushes:
Desert areas
vegetation is scarce,
scanty rain
scorching heat
