Match List-I (Soil Types and Natural Vegetation in India) with List-II (Key Pedological and Ecological Characteristics) to establish the correct relationships.
- Tropical Dry Deciduous ForestForms a broad transitional zone where trees shed their leaves completely in early dry summer; common species include Teak and Axlewood.
- Saline Soil (Usar Soil)Accumulates high proportions of sodium, potassium, and magnesium salts due to intense capillary action in arid and semi-arid tracts.
- Black Soil (Regur Soil)Characterized by basaltic origin, high moisture retention capacity, and self-ploughing properties.
- Littoral and Swamp ForestOccurs along tidal estuaries and deltas, featuring specialized breathing roots (pneumatophores) and viviparous germination.
Cevap
Tropical Dry Deciduous Forest matches with the transitional leaf-shedding forest zone; Saline Soil matches with salt accumulation via capillary action; Black Soil matches with basaltic origin, moisture retention, and self-ploughing; Littoral and Swamp Forest matches with estuarine habitats, pneumatophores, and viviparous germination.
Each item is matched to its authoritative geographic classification in India. Tropical Dry Deciduous forests drop leaves during dry seasons to conserve water; Saline soils form when capillary action brings sodium and magnesium salts to the surface in poorly drained dry areas; Black soils arise from Deccan basalt weathering and display self-ploughing clay characteristics; and Littoral/Swamp forests utilize pneumatophores to survive in submerged coastal marshlands.
