relative importance of physical and human factors in accounting for the changes to vegetation over time within ecosystems in the British Isles. With a temperate climate in the Northern Hemisphere‚ the British Isles bears a variety of trees and successions of plants‚ including deciduous trees. The main ecosystem of the country is made up from forest and lake biomes alongside heathlands and moorlands such as heather moorland. The changes to the vegetation over time can be affected by both physical and

Biome is all of the life zones‚ all plants‚ animals‚ and other organisms‚ as well as the physical environment in a particular area. A biome is characterized by its plant life‚ which is determined by its location. For example‚ northern coniferous forests exist in sub-arctic portions of North America and Asia‚ but further north‚ the conditions are simply too harsh and the season too brief for trees to grow. Instead of trees‚ the short vegetation of the tundra thrives in these areas. The same occurs

The Western Ghats or the Sahyādri constitute a mountain range along the western side of India. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the eight hottest hotspots of biological diversity in the world. It is sometimes called the Great Escarpment of India. The range runs north to south along the western edge of the Deccan Plateau‚ and separates the plateau from a narrow coastal plain along the Arabian Sea. The range starts near the border of Gujarat and Maharashtra‚ south of the Tapti river
