The most dominant tree species of the dry tract in India is
Answer: A
The dominant tree of India's dry tract is khejri (printed 'Khejari'), Prosopis cineraria.
Khejri is the characteristic tree of the arid and semi-arid regions of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana. Its deep roots reach groundwater, it fixes nitrogen, and it supplies fodder, fuel and food (the pods, sangri), which is why it is called the king of the desert and is Rajasthan's state tree.
Khair grows in dry deciduous forests but is not the dominant species of the desert tract. Poplar is a tree of irrigated plains in the north-west, and Malabar neem (Melia dubia) of the south.
