    There are two major type of soil – Acidic and Alkali
    Acidic – high rainfall area, due to liching of minerals especially nitrates. Treated by mainly lime.

    Alkali – Arid region. Treated mainly by gypsum or sulphur

    Saline soil is resembled with Alkaline soil and differs by amount of salt against Alkali soil.
    In very layman language you can say that saline soil is degraded form of Alkaline soil…

    Itna yaad rakhna exam ke liye kaafi hai….Zyada in-depth science me jaane ki zarurat nhi

  14. hey, thanks for the reply…
    i think we are mixing two concept of alkalinity and salinity together despite they being totally different but at times may occur simultaneously.

    khuller geography book….pl check this link

    even vajiram teacher notes says these:
    alkalinity is not a problem but salinity is…..as there are various methods to cure alkalinity using acids treatment.

    0.5% of world’s total plant…so u actually dont need the total number of plants in that area. If area has 1500 plants as endemic and lost 70% vegetation then it does not matter whether total number of species are 1501 or 15000…it is a hot spot. so (a) is not necessary at all…but since (b) and (c) were true so we had to choose (d).

    Easy!

  22. In question of extinct species , if an animal is extinct in managed area then how it can be called extinct ( it could be present in wild ) .

    In options , we need to check validity of one option only unless extinct in managed area also means extinct in wild .

    So answer according to me should be b .

    Soil is generally acidic in high rain fall area and alkaline in low rain fall area (arid region). It is the basic concept. Acidic due to leaching and alkaline due to evaporation.
    So, apart from the water (irrigation), there are other methods to neutralize the salinity or alkalinity of soil.
    You may better refer to this website. It has good explanation:

    I was thinking throughout that it is no. of total species in the region ๐Ÿ™
    analysis mistake here – need to be broadminded

  64. yes, to be called hotspot, it must have at least 0.5% of world’s vascular plant species

  65. Solitude Avatar

    yeah

  66. Abhijit (ABG) Avatar
    Abhijit (ABG)

    Just to clarify – is it 0.5% of total species of vascular plants in the world ?

    I do explain….Meri buddhi bhi aise hi bhrasht hui thi and I did wrong…
    0.5% find out karne ke liye you must know the total number…..Tabhi to percentage pata chalega…
    Means…0.05 species unique out of total 1…

  69. Abhijit (ABG) Avatar
    Abhijit (ABG)

    With respect to Q1,

    A biodiversity hotspot is a biogeographic region with significant levels of biodiversity that is under threat from humans.

    To qualify as a biodiversity hotspot, a region must meet two strict criteria:

    it must contain at least 0.5% or 1,500 species of vascular plants as endemics, no. of UNIQUE SPECIES

    and it has to have lost at least 70% of its primary vegetation. Loss of vegetation – no. of species at risk is not mentioned, may be it is implicit here

    Where does total no. of species come in picture.

    Secondly, 2nd condition is ”it has to have lost at least 70% of its primary vegetation” – It does not mean lose of species – but primary vegetation !!! It may suggest that ”No. of species at risk” can be considered for loss of primary vegetation.

    But, I don’t think total no. of species is included as a criterion !!!

    Yes correctly conceived ๐Ÿ™‚ most welcome. Good luck.

  71. OK means if extinct >>>>>means extinct
    and extinct in WILD >>> means extinct in WILD………..got it…thanks!!!

    No no its actually the correct one, if u have any decent ecology book, u can refer to it, the same thing is written. No two interpretation can be there.
