How do vegetation affect climate?

Vegetation can affect climate and weather by the release of water vapor into the air during photosynthesis. The vapor alters surface energy flows and potentially leads to cloud formation. The researchers found that substantial vegetation-precipitation feedback loops often occur in semi-arid or monsoonal regions.

Why is vegetation important for climate?

Land use over US. Since climate is basically an average of the weather over a long period of time, vegetation is important to climate. Plants also help keep our climate stable over time by offsetting temperature and moisture fluctuations through transpiration.

What is the best climate for vegetation?

Which climate zone is best for vegetation?

Climatic Zone	Annual Rainfall (mm)	Vegetation
Desert	less than 100	Little or no vegetation
Arid	100-400	Some scrubs, some grassland
Semi-arid	400-600	Scrubs & bushes, grassland
Sub – humid	600-1200	Bushes to woodland, grassland

What is the climate and vegetation of India?

Indian Climate, and Vegetation. The climate of India is tropical and hence the vegetation of India is all a result of the landmass being located in a tropical region. The climate of a place is affected by the location of the region, altitude of the region, distance from the sea and relief features.

How does climate affect soil and vegetation?

While weather is a short-term part of climate, certain weather cycles can still affect soil. For example, soil can be dried out and rearranged during droughty or windy weather. As the soil is dried out, plant growth is reduced, which reduces the stability of the surface layer and allows more erosion.

What is importance of natural vegetation?

Importance of Natural Vegetation: Vegetation provides shelter to animals and provides us with timber and many other forest produce. Plants also produce oxygen when they make food and oxygen is the gas we breathe. Plants protect soil from degradation. Plants help in recharging the groundwater.

What is vegetation and its types?

There are five major types of natural vegetation found in India- Tropical Evergreen, Deciduous, Dry Deciduous, Desert, Tidal and Mountain Forests.

How does soil influence vegetation?

Soils and vegetation have a reciprocal relationship. Fertile soil encourages plant growth by providing plants with nutrients, acting as a water holding tank, and serving as the substrate to which plants anchor their roots.
