This is the domain of living organisms in contact with atmosphere, hydrosphere as well as lithosphere. Man has begun to effect significant changes in his natural environment mainly after the advent of the Industrial revolution. The change in industrial and agricultural practice..

Crop Improvement - Each crop is, in fact, an adaptation from wild type to a cultivated type. Wild types or wild species of each crop can be traced to their natural habitat where such species are grown naturally without human interference. Even cultivated species of a crop exhibit greatly varying ..

Natural resources that are limited in nature and are liable to be degraded in quantity and quality by human activities are exhaustible natural resources. Examples are forests, soil, wild animals, minerals, fossil fuels etc. The understanding of the environment and its proper conservation, has gain..

Change in the composition of air due to several human activities has brought about green house effect. Green house effect has brought about following phenomenal changes. The severity of these changes will aggravate further in the next 10-20 years. By 2040, CO 2 level i..

Many diseases and pests of plants / animals follow a particular rhythm because of specific response of causal organism to a set of environmental conditions. Hence, disease / pest is more likely to attack a plant/animal if the environmental situations are favourable. These are called 'pre-disposing..
