Govt Odisha Biodiversity Board Jobs 2023 - Sarkari Naukri

Odisha’s unique location in Peninsular India has blessed it with an interesting assemblage of floral and faunal diversity. The forests vary widely depending on their location but may be broadly classed as moist deciduous, dry deciduous, scrub forest, mangrove forests and patches of semi-evergreen forests, especially along the perennial streams and at high altitude areas receiving heavy rainfall. Moist deciduous Sal forest is by far the most dominating in terms of area and expanse across the state. The vegetation of Odisha comes under four types: (i) Odisha Semi-evergreen forests (ii) Tropical moist deciduous forests (iii) Tropical dry deciduous forests and (iv) Littoral and Tidal swamp forests.

Bio Geographically, the state falls in three zones: Deccan Peninsula (Chotanagpur and the Eastern Highlands), Lower Gangetic Plain and East Coast. The geological formations reflect a complex of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks with alluvial and coastal alluvial plains, each giving rise to distinct soil type which ranges from alluvial (coastal and riverine types) to lateritic and black cotton.
Vegetation in the Eastern Ghats ranges from moist deciduous type in the north to dry deciduous type in the south. These forests are composed of tropical, subtropical and temperate elements along with evergreen types which occur at high elevations.
