Detailed Solution

Madhya Pradesh has the largest area under permanent forests. The heterogeneity in climatic and edaphic circumstances is primarily responsible for the differences in MP forest types. This region's principal soil types are black soil, red and yellow soil, alluvial soil, laterite soil, and mixed soil. Arunachal Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, and Maharashtra follow. The state's recorded forest area is around 95,000 sq. kilometres, accounting for over 31% of the state's entire geographical area. It accounts for 12.3% of the total forest area in India. The forest is separated into three distinct zones: Reserved Forest (65.3%), Protected Forest (32.84%), and Unclassified Forest (0.18%).
