Detailed Solution

The forest type marked on the map is Montane Forest. Montane forest refers to the type of vegetation found in the mountainous regions of India. The type of vegetation in an area varies with altitude. The foothills usually have tropical vegetation, and at moderate elevations, dense forests are due to abundant rainfall and moderate temperatures. Moving up the slopes at higher elevations, the harsh climate, lack of rainfall, and strong winds lead to the formation of grasslands or shrubs. The varied and unique climatic conditions make montane forests home to several endemic species. In India, the Himalayas, northeastern states, and the Western Ghats are the major areas with this type of forest.
