Forest and Wildlife Test 1

Roots of trees prevent soil erosion

Thorns are sharp and pointed woody projections that protrude from the stem of a plant. They are often stiff and mostly found on plants that are leafless.

They are often called as Desert forest. 

The place where both natural vegetation and wildlife both are preserved is National Park.

Natural vegetation and wildlife exist only in a narrow zone of contact between the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere and this narrow zone is called biosphere.

Various awareness programs for conservation of Natural Vegetation are: 

Van Mohotsav
Wild life week
Social Forestry

The forest is a complex ecosystem consisting mainly of trees that buffer the earth and support a myriad of life forms. The trees help create a special environment which, in turn, affects the kinds of animals and plants that can exist in the forest. ... Plants provide habitat to different types of organisms.

The tropical deciduous forests are also called monsoon forest because the trees in these forests shed their leaves during dry season and re-grow during monsoon.

Conifers are cone-bearing trees that have needle-like leaves and stay green all year long. A coniferous forest is one made up of conifers.

Sundarbans is an example of marshy forest.

The Sundarbans freshwater swamp forests are a tropical moist broadleaf forest ecoregion of Bangladesh. It represents the brackish swamp forests that lie behind the Sundarbans Mangroves, where the salinity is more pronounced.

Coniferous forests primarily contain conifer trees including spruces, pines, firs, larches, cedars, and junipers. Almost all coniferous trees, such as pines and firs, bear their seeds inside cones.

The Gir forest is in Gujarat.
