2. Vegetation
 Vegetation is a general term for the plant life of a
region; it refers to the ground cover provided by plants.
 Vegetation supports critical functions in the
biosphere, at all possible spatial scales.
 Since the 1960s, much research into vegetation has
revolved around topics in functional ecology. In a
functional framework, taxonomic botany is less
important.

 General info
The Himalayas stretches over a distance of about 2500
kms from west to east. It average width along the
entire longitudinal extension ranges from 100 - 400
km. The vast area covered by the mountain range
along with some fantastic altitude gradients result in
the tremendous biodiversity of the Himalayan region.
Vegetation and wildlife, both change according to the
varying altitude and the resulting differences in
climatic conditions.

6. Vegetation
 Thousands of species of flora and fauna thrive in the
region, each adapting to its climatic conditions,
predators and other challenges unique to one's
habitat. However, as in other regions, man's entry and
exploitation into the region has meant that many
species have become extinct or are threatened and on
the verge of extinction. We present a brief look at the
tremendous natural wealth of the Himalayas.
