2. Content Global Distribution of Forest Forest Introduction Forest Types and their Distribution in India Importance of Forest Reference

3. Global distribution of forest Introduction Forests, refers to the collection of trees in an area which can be either natural or artificial Forest resources ,is the renewable natural resources which found in different parts of the world

4. Global distribution of forest According to the food agriculture organization(FAO)global forest resources assessment(2000)report, forest cover almost 1/3of the world land or 3869 million hectors This implies 95% is natural forest 5% is planted forest Forest are distributed unevenly across the globe two third of the world forest is currently distributed among 10 countries: Russian federation, Brazil ,Canada , USA , China , Australia ,Democratic republic of Congo , Indonesia & Peru

5. Distribution of forest by countries

6. Global distribution of forest : Unevenly distribution depends on the nature of the area which means - Climate Land (fertility or infertility) Cultural aspect over the geographical area

7. Global distribution of forest : The following are the types of forest and their distribution . Tropical rain forest Subtropical evergreen forest Mediterranean forest and scrubs Temperate forest Midlatitude deciduous forest

8. FOREST TYPE IN INDIA The detail classification and studies was done by CHAMPION and SETH into 16 categories of forest -

9. Types of forest 1. Tropical forest 2. Montane subtropical forest 3. Montane wet temperate forest 4. Sub alpine forest 5. Alpine forest

10. Tropical forest Moist (b) Dry Wet evergreen Semi evergreen Moist deciduous Littoral and swamp forest Dry deciduous Thorn forest Dry evergreen

11. Temperature and range of rainfall in Tropical Rainforests Wet Evergreen- Temperature: 15-30C Rainfall-more than 200cm Semi Evergreen- Temperature:24-27C Rainfall-200-250cm Moist Deciduous-Temperature:27C Rainfall:100-200cm Littoral and Swamp-Temperature:26-29C Rainfall: 75-500cm Dry Deciduous-Temperature:10C Rainfall: 750-1500mm Thorn Forest-Temperature:25-30C Rainfall: Less than 70cm Dry Evergreen-Temperature: 28C Rainfall: 100cm

12. Wet evergreen forest Moist Deciduous Forest Dry evergreen Forest Thorn Forest Littoral and Swamp forest Dry deciduous Forest Semi evergreen forest

13. Montane subtropical forest Broad leaved hill forest ii. Pine forest iii. Dry evergreen

14. Montane wet temperate forest Wet temperate ii. Himalayan moist temperate iii. Himalayan dry temperate

15. Sub alpine forest i. Sub alpine forest

16. Alpine forest i. Moist alpine scrub ii. Dry alpine scrub

17. Importance of Forest Forests cover about a third of the earth's land area and are  essential to the health of our environment . For example, trees and forests absorb and store much of the carbon dioxide that otherwise would be contributing to climate change. Forests are home to about 80 percent of remaining terrestrial biodiversity.
