Natural Vegetation and Habitats

The Savannas are the vast tropical grasslands found primarily in Africa.

The Pampas are fertile South American lowlands, specifically in Argentina, characterized by vast, treeless grasslands.

This is the correct option. Coconut tree is not a part of the flora of Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve.

Rain forests belong to the tropical wet climate group. Rainforests now cover less than 6% of Earth's land surface. Scientists estimate that more than half of all the world's plant and animal species, live in tropical rain forests. Tropical rainforests produce 40% of Earth's oxygen. A tropical rain forest has more kinds of trees, than any other area in the world. Scientists have counted about 100 to 300 species, in one 2 1/2-acre (1-hectare) area in South America. Seventy percent of the plants in the rainforest, are trees.

Tropical monsoon forests are found in regions with distinct wet and dry seasons, which includes parts of South Asia (like Sri Lanka) and parts of Eastern Africa.

Tidal forests, which grow in saline water in coastal areas, are commonly known as mangrove forests. They are vital for protecting coastlines from erosion.

Natural vegetation is often referred to as the 'mirror of climate' because the types of plants that grow in a region are directly determined by the local climate, such as temperature and rainfall.

According to the National Forest Policy of India, the recommended forest cover to maintain ecological balance is 33 percent of the total land area.

The Gobi Desert is a vast cold winter desert located in Asia, spanning northern China and southern Mongolia. Unlike the Sahara, Thar, and Gibson deserts, which are subtropical hot deserts, Gobi is classified as a cold mid-latitude desert.

The tundra is characterized by extreme cold and a short growing season, which results in very low species diversity compared to forests or grasslands.

Depending upon area type where organisms live, terminology is used.

cultivated land need to be protected from the grazing animals.

Hydrophytes grow in water. Mesophytes growin moderate conditions. Epiphytes are weeds.
