  • Lesson 6.Pmd
    Natural Ecosystem MODULE - 2 Ecological Concepts and Issues 6 Notes NATURAL ECOSYSTEM Whenever you travel long distance you come across changing patterns of landscape. As you move out from your city or village, you see croplands, grasslands, or in some areas a forests, desert or a mountainous region. These distinct landscapes are differentiated primarily due to the type of vegetation in these areas. Physical and geographical factors such as rainfall, temperature, elevation, soil type etc. determine the nature of the vegetation. In this lesson you will learn about the natural ecosystems with their varied vegetation and associated wildlife. OBJECTIVES After completing this lesson, you will be able to: • list the various natural ecosystems; • describe the various terrestrial ecosystems; • describe the various aquatic ecosystems (fresh water, marine and estuarine); • recognize ecotones, their significance and the edge effect. • list the major Indian ecosystems; • list the threatened ecosystems-mangrove, wetlands, coastal ecosystems and islands; • explain the need and methods of conservation of natural ecosystems. 6.1 WHAT ARE NATURAL ECOSYSTEMS A natural ecosystem is an assemblage of plants and animals which functions as a unit and is capable of maintaining its identity such as forest, grassland, an estuary, human intervention is an example of a natural ecosystem. A natural ecosystem is totally dependent on solar energy. There are two main categories of ecosystems. 95 MODULE - 2 Environmental Science Senior Secondary Course Ecological Concepts and Issues (1) Terrestrial ecosystem: Ecosystems found on land e.g. forest, grasslands, deserts, tundra. (2) Aquatic ecosystem: Plants and animal community found in water bodies. These can be further classified into two sub groups.

  • Smart Border Management: Indian Coastal and Maritime Security
    Contents Foreword p2/ Preface p3/ Overview p4/ Current initiatives p12/ Challenges and way forward p25/ International examples p28/Sources p32/ Glossary p36/ FICCI Security Department p38 Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security September 2017 www.pwc.in Dr Sanjaya Baru Secretary General Foreword 1 FICCI India’s long coastline presents a variety of security challenges including illegal landing of arms and explosives at isolated spots on the coast, infiltration/ex-filtration of anti-national elements, use of the sea and off shore islands for criminal activities, and smuggling of consumer and intermediate goods through sea routes. Absence of physical barriers on the coast and presence of vital industrial and defence installations near the coast also enhance the vulnerability of the coasts to illegal cross-border activities. In addition, the Indian Ocean Region is of strategic importance to India’s security. A substantial part of India’s external trade and energy supplies pass through this region. The security of India’s island territories, in particular, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, remains an important priority. Drug trafficking, sea-piracy and other clandestine activities such as gun running are emerging as new challenges to security management in the Indian Ocean region. FICCI believes that industry has the technological capability to implement border management solutions. The government could consider exploring integrated solutions provided by industry for strengthening coastal security of the country. The FICCI-PwC report on ‘Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security’ highlights the initiatives being taken by the Central and state governments to strengthen coastal security measures in the country.
