The Nakai Plateau is characterized primarily by pine forest. Mountainous areas (600-1000+ m of altitude) support mainly dry evergreen forest, which is the most common habitat type over the whole protected area. Upper mountain forest is found over 1800 m of altitude. Localised wet evergreen forest found at the border with Vietnam is of particular importance because it holds endemic species of the Annamite mountain range. At lower altitudes (below 600 m), cultivation, shrub and secondary and bamboo forest are found around villages.
