Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Flora and Fauna Meaning
2. In a nutshell, the term flora relates to all plant life and the term fauna represents all animal life.
3. Rubber plants are a type of fast-growing broadleaf evergreen vegetation. They belong to the rainforest region of South America and the tropical rainforests of Sumatra, the Himalayas, India, Nepal and Java, and Indonesian island.
4. An ecosystem is a part of a biome. It refers to the interaction between abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) components in a given area. The biotic factors include plants, animals, organisms etc., and abiotic factors include soil, water, sunlight, temperature, weather, climate etc.
5. Lions live in a variety of habitats but prefer grassland, savanna, dense scrub, and open woodland. Historically, they lived across much of Europe, Asia, and Africa, but now they are mainly found in parts of Africa south of the Sahara.
6. Alpine vegetation is found above the limit of trees, in treeless areas and among subalpine forests. It is less than 2 metres tall.
7. natural vegetation in India disappearing rapidly,describe any four reasons. * Illegal cutting of plants. * Illegal killing of animals. * Over exploitation of resources.
8. ➡️Thorn forest are commonly found at dry places. They have plants and trees with thorns so named as thorn forest. ➡️Mangrove Forest are the tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. Such forests have trees that grows in coastal saline or brackish water.
9. Soils also vary over space. Different types of soil provide basis for different types of vegetation. The sandy soils of the desert support cactus and thorny bushes while wet, marshy, deltaic soils support mangroves and deltaic vegetation. The hill slopes with some depth of soil have conical trees.
10. dry deciduous forest they are found in Northern and western parts they have found in area the rainfall between 70 to 100 cm. moist deciduous forests are found all over India except the north and North Western part they have nearly rainfall found in 100 to 200 cm .
11. India is a diversified country with vast variety of flora and fauna. The main factors responsible for distribution of flora and fauna are - favourable topography, availability of minerals, fresh water resources, suitable climatic conditions and soil fertility.
12. We depend on forests for our survival, from the air we breathe to the wood we use. Besides providing habitats for animals and livelihoods for humans, forests also offer watershed protection, prevent soil erosion and mitigate climate change.
13. The flora of India is one of the richest in the world due to the wide range of climate, topology and habitat in the country. There are estimated to be over 18,000 species of flowering plants in India, which constitute some 6-7 percent of the total plant species in the world.

Answer 2

Q1. Flora is defined as all these naturally occurring native plants of a particular region. Fauna is all the animal life present in a particular place or at a particular time period.

Q2. Semi-evergreen forests

Rubber belongs to semi-evergreen forests. Bamboo, ebony and rubber are important vegetation of this region

Q3. An ecosystem is a part of a biome. It refers to the interaction between abiotic (non-living) and biotic (living) components in a given area. The biotic factors include plants, animals, organisms etc., and abiotic factors include soil, water, sunlight, temperature, weather, climate etc.

Q4. Conservation status

They occupy remnant forest habitats in the two hill systems of Gir and Girnar that comprise Gujarat's largest tracts of dry deciduous forest, thorny forest and savannah.

Q5. Alpine vegetation is found above the limit of trees, in treeless areas and among subalpine forests. It is less than 2 metres tall.

Q6. Natural vegetation means the wild crops, herbs and shrubs that are growing without any interference by men. When we go on trek we see lots of plants growing naturally without any body looking after them. These plants are called natural vegetation. It has a lots of benefits for mother Earth. But in India natural vegetation in disappearing day by day. Some reasons are mentioned below:-

• Growth in population of our country - It resulted in space constraint and our encroachment to natural vegetation.
• Cutting of trees - When we move near vegetation we cut trees, hurbs and shrubs for fulfilling our requirements.
• Spoiling Nature - Where ever we go, wo create pollutants that destroy nature.
• Manufacturing Products - In the nature we create our industries and in turn destroy mother nature.

Q7. ➡️Thorn forest are commonly found at dry places. They have plants and trees with thorns so named as thorn forest.

➡️Mangrove Forest are the tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such species. Such forests have trees that grows in coastal saline or brackish water.

Q8. Soils also vary over space. Different types of soil provide basis for different types of vegetation. The sandy soils of the desert support cactus and thorny bushes while wet, marshy, deltaic soils support mangroves and deltaic vegetation. The hill slopes with some depth of soil have conical trees.

Q9. ➡️Dry deciduous forest they are found in Northern and western parts they have found in area the rainfall between 70 to 100 cm.

➡️Moist deciduous forests are found all over India except the north and North Western part they have nearly rainfall found in 100 to 200 cm.

Q10. Relief (Land and soil) and Climate (Temperature, humidity, photoperiod and precipitation) are the factors which are responsible for the distribution of plants and animals in India.

Q11. We depend on forests for our survival, from the air we breathe to the wood we use. Besides providing habitats for animals and livelihoods for humans, forests also offer watershed protection, prevent soil erosion and mitigate climate change.

Q12. The flora of India is one of the richest in the world due to the wide range of climate, topology and habitat in the country. There are estimated to be over 18,000 species of flowering plants in India, which constitute some 6-7 percent of the total plant species in the world. India is home to more than 50,000 species of plants, including a variety of endemics. The use of plants as a source of medicines has been an integral part of life in India from the earliest times. There are more than 3000 Indian plant species officially documented as possessing into eight main floristic regions : Western Himalayas, Eastern Himalayas, Assam, Indus plain, Ganges plain, the Deccan, Malabar and the Andaman Islands. In 1992, around 7,43,534 km2 of land in the country was under forests of which 92 percent belongs to the government. Only 22.7 percent is forested compared to the recommended 33 percent of the National Forest Policy Resolution 1952. The majority of it are broad-leaved deciduous trees which comprise one-sixth sal and one-tenth teak. Coniferous types are found in the northern high altitude regions and comprise pines, junipers and deodars. India's forest cover ranges from the tropical rainforest of the Andaman Islands, Western Ghats, and Northeast India to the coniferous forest of the Himalaya. Between these extremes lie the sal-dominated moist deciduous forest of eastern India; teak-dominated dry deciduous forest of central and southern India; and the babul-dominated thorn forest of the central Deccan and western Gangetic plain. Pine, fir, spruce, cedar, larch and cypress are the timber-yielding plants of which several also occur widely in the hilly regions of India.
