Consider the following statements:
Which of the statements given above is/are NOT CORRECT?
Solution (a)
Tundra is devoid of trees except stunted shrubs in the southern part of tundra biome, ground flora includes lichen, mosses and sedges.

Hence Statement 2 is correct.
Consider the following statements:
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Solution (c)
Epiphytes (“air plants”) are common in low-latitude rainforest.
Epiphytes attach themselves to the trunks, branches, or foliage of trees.
Hence Statement 1 is correct.
Epiphytes use its host solely as a means of physical support.
Epiphytes include plants of many different types, among them ferns, orchids, mosses, and lichens.
Hence Statement 2 is correct.

Consider the following statements:
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Solution (c)
The typical regions of monsoon forest are found in Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia.
Hence Statement 1 is correct.
Trees of the monsoon forest shed their leaves in the dry season.
The forest cover is sparser and the trees shorter than in rainforest. Tree trunks are massive, often with thick, rough bark. Branching starts at a comparatively low level and produces large, round crowns.
Hence Statement 2 is correct.

Consider the following statements:
Which of the statements given above is/are NOT CORRECT?
Solution (d)
Subtropical evergreen forest is generally found in regions of moist subtropical climate, where winters are mild and there is ample rainfall throughout the year. This forest occurs in two forms: broadleaf and needleleaf
Hence Statement 1 is correct.
The subtropical broadleaf evergreen forest has fewer tree species than the low-latitude rainforests, which also are home to broadleaf evergreen types. Trees are not as tall here as in the low-latitude rainforests, and their leaves tend to be smaller and more leathery; thus, the leaf canopy is less dense.
Hence Statement 2 is correct.

Consider the following statements:
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Solution (c)
Midlatitude deciduous forest is the forest type native to eastern North America and western Europe.
Midlatitude deciduous forest consists largely of trees that drop their leaves during the cold season.
Hence Statement 1 is correct.
Where the deciduous forests have been cleared by lumbering, pines readily develop as second-growth forest.
Trees common to the deciduous forest of eastern North America, southeastern Europe, and eastern Asia are oak, beech, birch, hickory, walnut, maple, elm, and ash
Hence Statement 2 is correct.

Which of the following statement is/are correct with respect to Wetlands?
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
Solution (b)
Sediments deposited by the rivers and river floodplains helps in the formation of wetlands.
Hence Statement 1 is correct
Wetlands are found from the tundra to the tropics and on every continent except Antarctica.
Hence Statement 2 is incorrect
Lakes are generally less important when compared to wetland from the viewpoint of ecosystem and biodiversity conservation.
Hence Statement 3 is correct

The topmost zone near the shore of a lake or pond is the littoral zone.
Hence Statement 1 is correct
The near-surface open water surrounded by the littoral zone is the limnetic zone.
Hence Statement 2 is incorrect
Plankton has short life spans—when they die, they fall into the deep-water part of the lake/pond, the profundal zone.
Hence Statement 3 is incorrect

Consider the below statements in regard to plants found in Desert ecosystem:
Which of the statements given above is/are NOT CORRECT?
Solution (a)
Deserts are formed in regions with less than 25 cm of annual rainfall, or sometimes in hot regions where there is more rainfall, but unevenly distributed in the annual cycle.
Root system is well developed and spread over large area.
Hence Statement 1 is incorrect
