Land productivity is a measure of the amount of sustainable land use, determined as the relationship between land quality in overall productive terms and output. It can show a land’s potential to support and maintain life and can be used…
In the natural world, no organism exists in absolute isolation. The first law of ecology states, ” everything is connected with everything”. There is a continuous interaction between and among the biotic organisms and their interaction with abiotic interaction. This…
The top layer of the land is removed by water erosion, which can be caused by irrigation, rainfall, snowmelt, runoff, and ineffective irrigation management. Rainwater is usually the cause of this situation. Canyons are one example of water erosion. Types of…
An ecotype is a variety in which the phenotypic variations are insufficiently few or too small to qualify as a subspecies. These various variations can coexist in the same geographic area in ecologically varied environments such as meadows, forests, swamps, and…
When trees and crops are grown together on the same piece of land there will be interactions between the two components. This interaction is called tree-crop interaction and it may be either positive or negative. various interactions like light, nutrition…
A forest fire is an uncontrolled fire occurring in nature. it is a large, destructive fire that spreads over a forest or area of woodland consuming all the natural fuel of the forest. Sometimes, it is so massive that it takes a long time…
The branch of ecology, which deals with the effects of fire on the ecosystem, is called “Fire ecology” or Ecopyrology. Plants having the ability to withstand fire with little or no damage are referred to as pyrophytes. It is a major…
