Abstract

The Jhalana Forest area comes under the Jaipur administration block of the Rajasthan Forest Department. According to the biogeographical categorization, India is divided into 12 different biogeographical zones. Among these the Jaipur forest area comes under the Semi-arid region. Jaipur forms the transition zone between the Indian Desert and the Semi-arid zone. On one side of the Jaipur District is present Sikar, which is desert and on the other side is Alwar-Bharatpur District area which represents the semi-arid region. So, this transition zone is representing a complex or mixture of vegetation from both Arid (desert) and Semi-arid habitat. The Semi-arid part is mainly composed of Savanna land.
