Abstract

Diversity of vegetation are collections of plant species and ground cover. India has the richest diversity in the records. India has a diverse and abundant vegetation with their endowed and gorgeous growth with 80.9 million hectares of forest cover. India has 24.62 % total geographic area of forest. In this review paper we have discussed that different regions have their specific vegetational localities. In this paper, there are findings of different materials and methods that are used to study vegetation such as, remote sensing & GIS. India is blessed with different types of vegetation diversity like evergreen forest, thorny forest, tropical evergreen forest, dry deciduous forest etc.
