The document discusses the major types of natural and cultural plant formations around the world. It defines formations as communities dominated by certain growth forms. Natural vegetation formations are determined primarily by ecological processes, while cultural formations have structures influenced by human activity. Formations are classified into classes based on dominant growth forms adapted to moisture and temperature ranges. The six natural classes are mesomorphic tree, mesomorphic shrub/herb, cryomorphic, xeromorphic woodland/scrub/grassland, hydromorphic, and lithomorphic vegetation. Subclasses further specify global macroclimatic and aquatic conditions, and the third formation level identifies vegetation types like temperate, boreal, montane, and Mediterranean.

Major formation types
The document discusses the origins and formations of various geological features including the Earth, petroleum and natural gas, coal, coral reefs, mountains, rivers, rocks, and oceans. It explains that the Earth originated from a single dense point that exploded outward, and petroleum and natural gas were formed from ancient organic materials compressed over long periods of time. Coal is formed through the decomposition and compaction of plant materials in swamps. Coral reefs are formed by coral secreting calcium carbonate skeletons in warm, clear waters. Mountains are formed through tectonic deformation of the Earth's crust. Rivers flow downhill from their source due to gravity and form river systems as tributaries join the main course. Rocks form through

Abnormal secondary growth
This document discusses abnormal or anomalous secondary growth in plants. It defines secondary growth as an increase in plant girth due to vascular cambium or cork cambium. Anomalous secondary growth does not follow the normal pattern of a single vascular cambium producing xylem internally and phloem externally. Some examples given of plants that exhibit anomalous secondary growth include Bougainvillea, which forms multiple cambium rings outside the oldest phloem, and monocots like Dracaena which can exhibit secondary growth in roots. The document also describes different types of anomalous secondary growth that can occur in dicot stems due to abnormal cambium position or activity.
Topographic factors.pptx
This document discusses topographic factors and their influence on biodiversity. It defines topographic factors as physical features of the earth's surface like altitude, latitude, slope, and exposure to mountain chains and valleys. These factors affect climate by influencing temperature, precipitation, wind, and other conditions. This creates microclimates where different organisms and vegetation exist in different areas with varying topography. Specifically, it discusses how altitude, latitude, direction of mountains/winds, slope steepness, and exposure affect climate and therefore biodiversity in an area. Understanding topography helps explain the diversity of life found in different locations.

Community ecology...1
Community ecology is the study of the interactions between species within a biological community. A community is defined as an assemblage of plant and animal species that occur together in a specific habitat. Characteristics of a community include species diversity, dominance by one or a few species, trophic structure consisting of producers, consumers, and decomposers, and successional changes over time. Communities can be classified and analyzed based on quantitative characteristics like frequency, density, and cover, and qualitative characteristics like physiognomy, phenology, and stratification. Ecotones form transitional zones between two adjacent communities, and the biological spectrum indicates the distribution of life forms in a community.

Succession
This document discusses ecological succession, which is the process of change in species composition of a community over time. It defines primary and secondary succession, and describes different types of succession including autogenic, allogenic, autotrophic, heterotrophic, progressive, and retrogressive succession. It also discusses Clements' model of succession involving nudation, invasion, ecesis, aggregation, competition, reaction, and stabilization. Finally, it outlines three major theories of climax communities - monoclimax, polyclimax, and climax pattern theory - and three models of succession - facilitation, tolerance, and inhibition.
ECOLOGY & PHYSIOLOGY OF POTASSIUM & NITROGEN
This document discusses the physiology and ecology of nitrogen and potassium in plants. It outlines that potassium regulates stomata opening and closing to control CO2 uptake and is essential for ATP production and osmoregulation. Potassium deficiency can result in chlorosis, stunted growth, and reduced drought resistance. Nitrogen is a major component of chlorophyll and nucleic acids and is required for photosynthesis. Both nitrogen and potassium are involved in numerous enzyme and metabolic processes important for plant growth, reproduction, and overwintering. Their uptake and cycling in soils and plants are important to consider for agricultural systems.
Plant succession
The gradual replacement of one community by another in the development of vegetation towards a climax is the culmination stage in plant succession for a given environment.
Nomenclature of fossils
This document summarizes the nomenclature used for naming fossil plants. It discusses the history of naming conventions for plant fossils and how the current Vienna Code provides flexible taxonomic concepts for paleobotanists. Individual plant parts discovered as fossils are often named as form genera to represent detached organs like leaves, stems, or cones. When plant parts can be reconstructed into a whole organism, a binomial name may be assigned. Common plant fossil genera discussed include Lepidodendron and Calamites along with the form genera used to represent their individual parts.

Phytogeography, climate, vegetation and botanical zones
This document discusses the key concepts and principles of phytogeography, which is the study of the geographic distribution of plants. It covers definitions of phytogeography, the major divisions of descriptive and interpretive phytogeography, principles related to plant environment, plant responses, migration of floras and climaxes, and perpetuation and evolution of floras. Factors affecting species distribution include geological history, migration, and ecological amplitude. The distribution of plants is primarily controlled by climate, soils, and biotic interactions, and each species has a defined range of environmental tolerances.
Attributes of plant community
Ecological characteristics of plant communities can be classified into three main groups: analytical, synthetic, and physiognomic. Analytical characteristics can be analyzed qualitatively or quantitatively and include characteristics like species, stratification, periodicity, vitality, and sociability. Quantitative characteristics include density, relative density, abundance, cover, and frequency. Synthetic characteristics examine presence, constancy, fidelity, and dominance. Physiognomic characteristics describe the physiognomy, pattern, and life forms of plants such as phanerophytes, chamaeophytes, hemi-cryptophytes, cryptophytes, and therophytes.
Stress physiology
This document discusses Zhou Yan's research interests in plant physiology, specifically stress physiology. It provides an overview of stress types in plants, including biotic, abiotic, chilling, freezing, heat, and drought stresses. It also discusses resistance mechanisms in plants, such as stress avoidance and stress tolerance. Zhou Yan's current research focuses on the effects of saline and alkaline stresses on soybean seedlings. The research examines impacts on growth factors and ionic balance, as well as the mechanisms plants use to adapt, such as osmotic regulation and ion regionalization.

The Eastern Himalayas also have 3 zones with tropical and temperate forests and alpine
Vegetation of pakistan
The document discusses the different types of vegetation found in Pakistan. It divides Pakistan's vegetation into 9 categories based on climate, altitude, and plant types. These include littoral and swamp forests, tropical dry deciduous forests, tropical thorn forests, sub-tropical broad-leaved evergreen forests, sub-tropical pine forests, Himalayan moist temperate forests, Himalayan dry temperate forests, sub-alpine forests, and alpine scrub vegetation. Each vegetation type is described in terms of its distribution, locality factors like climate and soil, and dominant flora. The relationship between climate and vegetation in Pakistan is also examined.
Cryptochromes
Cryptochrome is a class of flavoprotein that acts as a blue light photoreceptor involved in circadian rhythms in plants and animals. It was first observed in plants in the 1800s but was not identified until the 1980s. Cryptochrome has a similar structure to photolyase but serves different functions. It contains a single molecule of FAD that absorbs blue light. In plants, cryptochrome mediates responses to blue light such as growth, seedling development, and leaf/stem expansion.
PHYTOCHROME STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION BY NOUR DEEB
1. Photomorphogenesis is the process by which plant development is controlled by light. It involves the inhibition of stem elongation and promotion of leaf expansion and chloroplast differentiation in light-grown plants.
2. Phytochromes are photoreceptor proteins that exist in two forms, Pr and Pfr, and regulate photomorphogenesis by controlling gene expression. Pr absorbs red light and is converted to active Pfr form.
3. Phytochromes play important roles in seed germination, chlorophyll synthesis, flowering time, and circadian rhythms in plants. They allow plants to respond adaptively to changes in light conditions.
Phytochrome
1. The document discusses phytochrome, a photoreceptor found in plants and some bacteria and fungi that is sensitive to red and far-red light in the visible spectrum.
2. Phytochrome regulates various plant responses including flowering, seed germination, stem and leaf growth, and chlorophyll synthesis. It is found in plant leaves.
3. Phytochrome exists in two forms - an inactive Pr form that absorbs red light, and an active Pfr form absorbed far-red light, which initiates biological responses in plants. Conversion between the two forms is triggered by red and far-red light.

Ion traffic into roots
There are 14 essential elements required for plant life processes. The macronutrients, which are needed in large quantities, include carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, sulfur, magnesium, and iron. The micronutrients, which are needed in small quantities, include manganese, zinc, boron, copper, molybdenum, and cobalt. Plants absorb these essential elements from the soil solution through ion exchange processes. Two main ion exchange mechanisms are contact ion exchange, where plant roots secrete hydrogen ions to displace cations bound to soil particles, and carbonic acid ion exchange, where carbonic acid produced by plant respiration ionizes to release hydrogen ions. Essential elements are transported from
Types of Forests in Pakistan
This document describes several types of forests found in Pakistan. Alpine forests are located in northern areas at high altitudes and have stunted tree growth due to low temperatures and sunlight. Coniferous forests are found in northern areas and hill stations and have conical trees with sloping branches to prevent snow accumulation and needle-like leaves. Tropical thorn forests are found in plains areas and have low-height, thorny trees with deep roots. Sub-tropical scrub forests are located in hills and foothills and have broad-leaved trees. Riverain or Bela forests are located along river banks and provide valuable hardwood. Mangrove forests are located along coastal areas and have broad, leathery leaves to
Modes of formation of subject
This document discusses different modes of subject formation in library science, as proposed by Ranganathan in the 1950s. It outlines seven modes of subject formation - loose assemblage, lamination, dissection, fusion, distillation, agglomeration, and cluster. These modes represent systematic relationships that guide how ideas are organized into subjects. Understanding these formation modes helps classify subjects in documents to efficiently retrieve and disseminate knowledge to library users.

Deltas- types, formation, case studies
Deltas are landforms formed at river mouths where sediment is deposited as the river enters a sea or lake. They are fan-shaped areas that can span hundreds of kilometers. The Indus River Delta in Pakistan covers 40,000 square kilometers and has a complex network of distributaries. Deltas form as rivers slow down at their mouths, causing sediment to flocculate and settle, building up over time. Different types of deltas include bird's foot, arcuate, and cuspate shapes, depending on factors like tidal influence. Deltas provide fertile land and resources but are also at high risk of flooding and channel migration due to their unstable sediments.

The document introduces an eco-friendly resort located in a deciduous forest in Japan. The resort, operated by Green Journeys, Inc., allows guests to experience the temperate forest through activities like hiking, canoeing, camping, and wildlife viewing. It describes the four seasons, ranging from cold winters to warm summers, as well as the variety of plant and animal life in the forest, including trees, shrubs, insects, birds, and mammals. The resort takes steps to reduce its environmental impact through practices like asking guests to reuse towels and installing energy-efficient windows and low-flow fixtures.
Temperate Forest Biome
A temperate forest biome is typically found in parts of eastern North America, southeast Canada, Europe, Japan, China, and Australia. These forests contain a mix of deciduous and coniferous trees as well as plants and support many animal species like squirrels, deer, bears, and mice. The climate is characterized by cold to moderate winters, warm summers, and year-round precipitation. Common plant types include broadleaf trees, conifers, shrubs, herbs, mosses, and ferns. Examples of animals include deer, black bears, bobcats, squirrels, mice, snakes, and raccoons. Food webs in this biome transfer energy from plants to various animal species.
Concept formation
This document discusses concepts and concept formation. It defines concepts as general mental representations that capture common properties of objects, events, or people. Concept formation involves 3 steps: perception of examples, abstraction of common features, and generalization into a concept. Concepts are not static and can change as a person learns. They are formed through both direct experience and indirect means like pictures. The document also discusses Piaget's stages of cognitive development and how concepts develop through those stages.
TEMPERATE FORESTS
Temperate forests are areas with high levels of precipitation and humidity that contain a variety of deciduous trees that shed their leaves in fall and winter. They have cool summers and cold winters, with temperatures ranging from 86°F to -22°F. Temperate forests are located in eastern Asia, western and central North America, and eastern North America. They support a wide variety of plants and animals and have distinct canopy, understory, and forest floor layers. Major threats include timber cutting, acid rain, invasive species, unsustainable forestry practices, and climate change. Conservation efforts include reducing car use, recycling, and choosing sustainable products.
Types of word formation
There are several types of word formation including compounding, affixation, clipping, acronyms, conversion, and blending. Compounding involves combining two or more words to form a new word like pencil case or firefly. Affixation uses prefixes, suffixes, and infixes to change word meanings like child or write. Clipping shortens words and acronyms use the first letters of words to form new words like laser and USA. Conversion changes word classes and blending combines parts of multiple words to form new words like smog or motels.
Temperate Rain Forest
The document discusses different types of temperate rainforests around the world. It defines tropical and temperate rainforests based on their proximity to the equator.

Succession ,its types ,causes and theories
This document discusses plant succession, including the causes, types, and theories of succession. It provides details on primary and secondary succession. There are two main types of succession: primary succession, which occurs in newly exposed bare areas, and secondary succession, which occurs in areas where vegetation has been disturbed but soil remains. Succession proceeds through a series of plant communities called seral stages and over time progresses toward a climax community. Major theories of succession include the monoclimax theory, polyclimax theory, and climax pattern theory. The document also outlines the main stages of hydrosere and xerosere, or aquatic and dry land succession.
ppt botany
This document summarizes key concepts in ecology. It discusses various ecological factors like climatic, edaphic, and topographic factors. It also describes different levels of ecological organization from individual to biosphere. Species interactions like competition, predation, and mutualism are explained. Succession processes including hydrosere and xersere are outlined. Different plant adaptations to habitats are defined, such as hydrophytes. Biomes and grassland types are briefly introduced.
Community ecology 1
This document provides an overview of community ecology, including definitions, characteristics, structures, and classifications of biological communities. The key points are:
1) A biological community is an assemblage of interacting plant and animal species that coexist in a particular area. Characteristics include species diversity, growth forms, dominance by certain species, successional changes over time, and trophic levels.
2) Communities vary in size from small microbe groups to large forests spanning thousands of square kilometers. Structurally, communities can be open or closed.
3) Communities are classified and analyzed using various quantitative and qualitative characters such as frequency, density, abundance, cover, stratification, and life forms. Classification systems include
ecology
The document summarizes key concepts in ecology. It discusses factors that influence organisms like climatic factors, edaphic factors, and topographic factors. It also covers different branches and levels of ecology like autoecology, synecology, ecosystems, and different ecological interactions between species like competition, predation, parasitism, and commensalism. Different types of grasslands and ecological successions are also summarized along with concepts like biome, niche, and mimicry.
Biomes & Ecosystems
The document defines biomes and ecosystems and provides key facts about forest biomes and ecosystems. It discusses the main types of forests - tropical, temperate, and boreal - and compares them in terms of net primary productivity (NPP) and biomass.
community ecology (RAKESH)
This document discusses key concepts in community ecology, including definitions of communities and their structure. It describes how communities are classified based on factors like the biological and physical structure of the plant community. Vertical structure is influenced by plant life forms, while horizontal structure relates to species distribution across landscapes. Species interactions, food webs, and historical assembly processes also shape community organization.
Ecology 2020 voiceover
Ecology is the study of relationships between organisms and their environment. It is organized into levels from smallest (organism) to largest (biosphere). Energy flows through ecosystems via food chains and webs from producers to various consumer trophic levels. Matter recycles through biogeochemical cycles like carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus and water. Populations grow according to exponential or logistic models depending on resources and limiting factors. Communities involve interactions like competition, predation, and symbiosis that structure species niches.
UNIT2_PART2_PDF.pdf
Ecological succession is the natural process of replacement of one community by another over time. If a forest is cleared by fire or calamity, it is initially colonized by pioneer plants and animals. The cleared area gradually changes from grassland to shrubland to woodland and eventually forest without human interference. Succession can be hydrosere (aquatic to terrestrial), xerosere (bare rock to forest), or other types starting from different substrates. The process involves colonization, competition, environmental modification, and eventual stabilization into a climax community in equilibrium with its environment.
Tema 7. The ecosystems.pdf
This document discusses ecosystems, including:
1) An ecosystem is a group of living things, their physical environment, and the relationships between them. It describes biotic and abiotic factors.
2) Matter and energy flow through ecosystems via food chains and webs between producers, consumers, and decomposers across trophic levels.
3) Ecosystems are classified by location (terrestrial vs. aquatic) and biome type (tundra, forest, desert, etc.), and aquatic ecosystems are further divided by salinity and depth.
Ecology Report
1. The document outlines the general structure of terrestrial communities, including their climate, substrates, biota, biogeographic regions, and major plant life forms.
2. It describes the key components of terrestrial ecosystems such as autotrophs, consumers, decomposers, and soil subsystems consisting of microbes, invertebrates, and plants.
3. The major terrestrial biomes of the world are identified as tundra, northern coniferous forest, and their characteristic environmental conditions and vegetation.
Eco system
The document discusses ecosystems, defining them as interconnected systems of living organisms and non-living components that interact. It describes the key components of ecosystems - abiotic (non-living) factors like water, air, minerals; and biotic (living) factors like producers, consumers, and decomposers. The two main types of ecosystems are aquatic (marine and freshwater) and terrestrial (forests, deserts, grasslands, mountains). Forest ecosystems are further divided into tropical and temperate rainforests, deciduous forests, taiga, etc. The ecosystem is a dynamic system formed by interactions between its living and non-living parts.

统考生物 Chapter 20 Ecosystem
This document provides an overview of key concepts in ecology, including important terms like habitat, species, population, community, ecosystem, niche, biome, and biosphere. It discusses abiotic factors like temperature, sunlight, rainfall, and humidity and how they influence organisms and ecosystems. It also covers biotic factors and interactions between species, including competition, predation, symbiosis (commensalism, mutualism, parasitism). The document discusses how organisms adapt to environmental changes and provides examples of structural, behavioral, and physiological adaptations.
Community ecology
Community ecology is the study of interactions between populations of different species within a defined area. A community consists of producers, consumers, and decomposers at various trophic levels. Species diversity and dominance characterize communities. Dominant species exert more influence over energy flow and physical structure. Communities develop through successional changes over time, eventually reaching a climax community. Stratification describes the vertical layering of communities according to plant height, while horizontal stratification refers to dispersion patterns of individuals across an area. Ecotones are transition zones between two communities that contain characteristics of both.
Unit 4 ecosystems biomes and biospheres
The document provides an overview of key concepts in ecology including the biosphere, biomes, ecosystems, and nutrient cycles. It defines important terminology like community, biome, abiotic and biotic components. It describes the major biomes like tundra, grasslands, forests and aquatic biomes. It explains the abiotic factors that influence organisms like temperature, water, light and soil. It outlines the biotic components including producers, consumers and decomposers. It discusses energy flow through ecosystems in food chains, webs and pyramids. It also summarizes important nutrient cycles like nitrogen, carbon, oxygen and water.
Levels of organization and niche
The document discusses key concepts in ecosystems, including:
1) An ecosystem is defined as a community of interdependent organisms (biotic factors) and the physical environment (abiotic factors) they inhabit.
2) Key biotic factors include populations, communities, and species. Abiotic factors include physical and chemical components of the environment like climate, soil, and water.
3) Limiting factors are those that prevent or restrict growth of populations and can include biotic factors like predation as well as abiotic factors such as nutrient availability.

Major formation types of the world
- 1. Major formation types of the world Presented by: Laraib Iqra
- 2. Introduction • Formation: "A community type defined by dominance of given growth form in the uppermost stratum of the community or by the combination of dominant growth forms" Whittaker(1962)
- 3. Types of Formations • Natural vegetation: "vegetation where ecological processes primarily determine specie composition and stand structure" A set of plant spp. growing spontaneously. • Cultural vegtations: "vegetation with a distinictive structure,composition and development determined by regular human activity" Anthomorphically growing plant spp.
- 4. Formation class "A vegetation classification unit of high rank(1st level)defined by broad combination of dominant general growth forms adapted to basic range of moisture,temperature"
- 5. The six natural formation classes Mesomorphic tree vegetation Mesomorphic shrub & Herb vegetation Cryomorphic vegetation Xeromorphic woodland,scrub & grassland vegetation Hydromorphic vegetation Lithomorphic vegetation
- 6. Formation subclass: A vegetation unit of high rank(2nd level) defined by combinations of general dominat & diagnostic growth forms that reflects global macroclimatic aquatic conditions. For example: Tropical forest Cool semi-desert scrub & Grass land
