Answer
The regions that show similarity in their ecology are called natural vegetation regions.
Existence and growth of any vegetation depend on the climate of that region.
Regions that have identical climate have mostly identical vegetation. For example, Gujarat has a hot climate with no major mountains.
Hence, we find trees like neem, baval almost in entire Gujarat.
Classification of vegetation: On the basis of altitude, types of soil, rainfall and temperature, the natural vegetation regions can be divided into five types. They are:
Tropical Rain Forests
Tropical Deciduous Forests
Tropical Desert Vegetation
Temperate Forests and Grasslands
Mangrove (Tidal) Forests.
