The growth of vegetation in a region depends on which of these factors?
1. Temperature 2. Moisture
3. Slope of Soil 4. Thickness of soil
5. Altitude
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct?
For e.g. Tundra is an area where tree growth is difficult because of cold temperatures and short seasons. Vegetation in tundra is limited to a few shrubs, grasses, and mosses.
Statement 3: Slope not only determines the stability of soil (for vegetation growth) but also the ability of soil to retain and hold water. On too steep slopes, water may not be allowed to seep down resulting in drier soils and poor vegetation.
Statement 4: Thicker the soil, greater are the chances of finding minerals and organic matter in the soil.
Statement 5: With the change in height, the climate changes and that changes natural vegetation.
