Q113
Geography (incl. West Bengal)Soils, Natural Vegetation & Forests
H.G. Champion classified India's vegetation into
- a.120 types.
- b.116 types.
- c.110 types.
- d.200 types.
Answer: (B) 116 types.
H. G. Champion's 1936 survey classified India's forests into 116 types. The 1968 revision by Champion and Seth regrouped them under 16 type groups with about 200 sub-types, which makes (D) tempting, but that figure belongs to the joint revision. The figures 120 and 110 match neither classification.
