  4. Eco system • A BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITY OF INTERACTING LIVING THINGS AND THEIR ENVIRONMENT • IT INCLUDE • 1)BIOLOGICAL COMMUNITY • 2) PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

  5. FACORS AFFECTING NATURAL VEGETAION • RELIEF • LAND • SOIL • CLIMATE • TEMPERATURE • PRECIPITATION • SUNLIGHT • LATITUDE AND ALTITUDE

  6. NATURAL VEGETATIONS IN INDIA • Grow where temperature and rainfall are plentiful to support a tree cover. • Forests are classified into • Tropical evergreen forests/ Rain forest • Tropical deciduous forests/Monsoon forest • Tropical Thorn forest and Scrubs • Mountane forest • Mangrove forest

  7. NATURAL VEGETATION IN INDIA

  8. Tropical evergreen forests • Occur in the regions near the equator. Also called tropical rain forests. • Hard wood trees like rosewood, ebony, mahogany, etc are common. • Forests remain evergreen.
