Solution
Vegetation:
An assortment of different plant species and the ground cover they offer make up vegetation.
It is a broad phrase that does not specifically relate to any particular species, living forms, structure, spatial expanse, or any unique flora or fauna.
Tropical vegetation
Any vegetation found in tropical latitudes is referred to as tropical vegetation. Plant life in year-round warm regions is often more biologically varied than plant life in other latitudes.
Rainforest, Monsoon forest, Desert, Savanna woodland, and thorn woodland are the five types of vegetation found in the tropical region
Monkeys, tigers, snakes, snails, frogs, insects, and all are some of the animals found in tropical types of vegetation region.
Montane vegetation
These are high-elevation woods, but not so high that development is constrained to the point where trees cannot take root. Where a mountain's timberline or forest line exists, the highest area of a montane forest is commonly located. Montane is derived from the Latin word mons, which means “mountain.”
Montane woods are warm and dry in the Mediterranean climate, except in the winter, when they are damp and pleasant. Montane woods contain towering trees and large biomass in Mediterranean climates. These woods are frequently mixed conifer and broadleaf forests, with just a few conifer species.
Among the few common species are the Kashmir stag, snow leopard, spotted deer, jackrabbit, wild sheep, Tibetan antelope, yak, shaggy horn wild ibex, and rare red panda.
