Which type of forest is found in the Chambal valley?
Answer: B
The Chambal valley carries ravine thorn forest.
In Champion and Seth's classification of Indian forest types, ravine thorn forest is a recognised edaphic type of the tropical thorn forests, found on the deeply gullied badlands of the Chambal, Yamuna and their tributaries. It is an open scrub of species such as Acacia leucophloea, Prosopis and Capparis on eroded ravine slopes.
Desert thorn forest belongs to the sandy plains of western Rajasthan. Butea forest and babul forest are local stands dominated by a single species, not the characteristic type of the Chambal ravines.
