2500m.<\/li>\n<li>Usually, coniferous trees grow in these forests.<br \/>\nDeodar, pine, oak, and fir are few of its significant vegetations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Mangrove Forests\/ Tidal Forests<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Mainly found in the Sundarbans delta and Andaman and Nicobar islands.<\/li>\n<li>This vegetation can survive in saline water<\/li>\n<li>Sundaris is a famous species growing in these forests (deriving its name from Sundarbans in West Bengal).<\/li>\n<li>Timber, palm, coconut, hogla, pasur, and garan are some of its important natural vegetation.<\/li>\n<li>These forests are a rich source for the timber industry in India<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Types of Vegetation in India<\/h2>\n<h3>Forests<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A dense region with multiple trees and shrubs<\/li>\n<li>Nature of trees depends upon the climatic conditions of the region<\/li>\n<li>Different types of forests such as evergreen, deciduous, mangrove etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Grasslands<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The grass is the key vegetation in these flat grasslands.<\/li>\n<li>These are an important source of weed and cattle.<\/li>\n<li>Savannas are the famous grasslands of Africa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Deserts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Dry, concrete, and arid pieces of land.<\/li>\n<li>The soil of this land comprises gravel and sand.<\/li>\n<li>Plants with long roots grow in these regions.<\/li>\n<li>The stems of these plants have a good water-storage capacity.<\/li>\n<li>Cactus is the principal plant of the desert region.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tundra<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Mostly found in cold regions such as the Arctic region.<\/li>\n<li>Limited shrubs and few patches grow in the tundra regions.<\/li>\n<li>Mostly covered with permafrost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Ice-sheets<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>No vegetative cover in these areas.<\/li>\n<li>Found in Antarctica and Greenland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Rainfall Distribution in India<\/h2>\n<p>The average rainfall in India amounts to 125 cm. Additionally, different zones experience specific rainfall patterns.<\/p>\n<p>Some prominent features of rainfall distribution in India are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The south-west monsoon (June to September)characterizes 75% of the total rainfall in the country.<\/li>\n<li>The north-east monsoon (October to December) comprises 13% of the total rainfall in India.<\/li>\n<li>10% (April and May) of rainfall in cyclonic in nature<\/li>\n<li>Around 2% (December to February) rainfall is engendered by western disturbances<\/li>\n<li>The southern states of India receive the preliminary rainfall from<\/li>\n<li>May onwards. Rainfall in these states is often accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning.<\/li>\n<li>The northwestern states of India receive an annual rainfall of less than 400cm.<\/li>\n<li>Rajasthan receives an annual rainfall of less than 60cm.<\/li>\n<li>Variability is high in regions receiving low rainfall. Such areas are extremely vulnerable to droughts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The heavy rainfall areas in India are mentioned hereby:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Western Ghats<\/li>\n<li>Northeast Indian states (excluding Manipur and Tripura)<\/li>\n<li>Andaman and Nicobar islands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The areas which experience a scarcity of rainfall are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gujarat and Rajasthan in the west<\/li>\n<li>Punjab and Haryana in the north<\/li>\n<li>Deserts in Ladakh region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Biosphere Reserves of India<\/h2>\n<p>Biosphere Reserves (BR ) is an internationally acclaimed recognition by UNESCO (United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization). India incorporates various biological reserves to maintain a rich cultural, social, and environmental heritage.<\/p>\n<p>By definition, a biological reserve refers to a protected bio-geographical unit for natural conservation. The government, with the help of local tribal communities, takes care of these natural reserves and maintains the ecological balance of the country.<\/p>\n<p>A biological reserve comprises of three major zones:<\/p>\n<h3>Core Zone<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Most interiorized area of a biological reserved<\/li>\n<li>Contains endemic plants and animals<\/li>\n<li>As per the Wildlife Protection Act of 1972, the core zone is free from human interference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Buffer Zone<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It surrounds the core zone to protect the natural species within its ambit<\/li>\n<li>This comprises the activities of limited tourism, fisheries, grazing, wildlife restoration etc.<\/li>\n<li>It also encourages research and other educational activities including limited field trips<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Transition Zone<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>It features as the outer layer of a biosphere reserve<\/li>\n<li>Human ventures are permissible in this zone<\/li>\n<li>Includes managed forests, croplands, settlements, etc.<\/li>\n<li>Used for intensive recreation, tourism, economy upliftment, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Functions of a Biosphere Reserve in India<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Conservation of endemic species, genetic resources, landscapes and ecosystems<\/li>\n<li>Foster human and economic developments<\/li>\n<li>Protection of the environment<\/li>\n<li>Encouraging educational and research activities<\/li>\n<li>A hotspot for sustainable development<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There exist a total of eighteen biosphere reserves in India.
