Soil- its Conservation and Management
Soil is the loose material that covers the land surface of the earth, supports the growth of plants and acts as a habitat for numerous organisms.
Conservation of Wildlife
Conservation of species in their natural habitats- in areas where they occur under normal conditions is called in-situ conservation.
This type of conservation strategy protects the entire area. Such an area is protected and maintained to conserve all the known or unknown species inhabiting it.
In this type of conservation, species are not isolated or provided with health care, food, or mating facilities. Only factors detrimental to species’ existence and development are eliminated in this conservation strategy. Human interference, such as hunting, cutting down trees, collecting firewood, etc., is completely banned in such areas.
Types of species
Species can be classified in many different ways. One species classification system may categorise species into Typological, evolutionary, and phylogenetic species.
Biodiversity, Its Concept, Values, Loss, and Causes of Loss
An association of all the plants at a particular place is called a Plant Community and the association of all the animals at the same place is called an Animal Community. Both the plant and animal communities inhabit a particular place living completely merged and interacting among them. Members of a community not only interact with the members of other communities, they interact with the members of their community and with the physical environment around them, as well.
Causes and Impacts of Genetic Erosion
In the modern age of industrialization and competition for development, the human race has badly missed its traditions up to major extents and cultures- up to some extent.
Disruption of Food-chains and Genetic Erosion
The population explosions of earlier and present days have already caused and are still causing serious impacts on the global environment. As for the biological environment, the human population has stressed most biological systems, comprising flora and fauna, as well as biological diversity.
Amazing World of Animals
The term animal has its origin from the Latin word animalis which means one who has breath. This word is usually applied for the non-human members of the Kingdom Animalia in animal taxonomy. However, the closer relatives of humans like mammals (having mammary glands) have been included in this term.
Effect of climate change on development of plant roots
Roots of plants too, respond to the changes in climate.
Food Production from Animals
The government have initiated a number of measures to increase the productivity of milch animals. It has resulted in an increase in the milk production significantly from the level of 102.6 million tonnes at the end of the tenth plan (2006 -2007) to 127.9 million tonnes at the end of the Eleventh plan (2011 -2012. The Annual Growth Rate of milk production was about 5% in 2011 -12 compared to 2010 -11.
