A large geographical region with a specific range of temperatures and precipitation, and the organisms that are adapted to those conditions of temperature and precipitation. Living things need a place to live and grow.. . Fish live in water.. Birds live in trees and fly through the air.. Plants grow where there is soil, water and sun.. Main Idea and Details.

Getting started. You’ll need a notepad on which to make notes as you go along, or you could make notes, paste images, etc. on your device..

Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology (NIAB) played an effective role to learn. . to live with salinity and make profitable use of saline land and water resources. . . Initially screening for salt tolerance species were carried out and the scientists identified one salt tolerant variety of cotton (NIAB-999) and one salt tolerant variety of wheat (Sarsabz) for salt-affected areas. Two salt tolerant mutants, one each of mungbean & cowpea were developed and an early maturing cowpea mutant line was also identified that can tolerate salinity up to EC = 10 dS m.
