Answer:
⚡Biosphere is that part of the earth where life exists. The geographical distribution of living organisms reveals that living creatures are found in different sets of environmental conditions. The scientists have discovered many kinds of organisms. Earlier, they were classified into two groups—the plant kingdom and the animal kingdom.
⚡Vegetation is a general term for the plant life of a region; it refers to the ground cover provided by plants, and is, by far, the most abundant biotic element of the biosphere.
⚡ Vegetation serves several critical functions in the biosphere, at all possible spatial scales.
⚡First, vegetation regulates the flow of numerous biogeochemical cycles, most critically those of water, carbon, and nitrogen; it is also of great importance in local and global energy balances.
⚡Such cycles are important not only for global patterns of vegetation but also for those of climate.
⚡Second, vegetation strongly affects soil characteristics, including soil volume, chemistry and texture, which feed back to affect various vegetational characteristics, including productivity and structure.
⚡Third, vegetation serves as wildlife habitat and the energy source for the vast array of animal species on the planet (and, ultimately, to those that feed on these).
⚡Lastly, vegetation is psychologically important to humans, who evolved in direct contact with, and dependence on, vegetation, for food, shelter, and medicines.
Note = Natural vegetation has a higher filtering capacity than storm water runoff by intercepting rainfall, promoting infiltration, and lowers the water table through transpiration. Natural vegetation provides a fully developed habitat for wildlife.
