Ecological stratification refers to the vertical or horizontal layering of organisms within an ecosystem, driven by the differential availability of resources like light, nutrients, and moisture. It represents the spatial organization of species to minimize inter-specific competition and maximize niche utilization.
Importance in UPSCUPSC में महत्व
UPSC frequently tests the relationship between vertical layering (e.g., rainforests) and biodiversity indices. It is critical for understanding ecosystem stability, niche differentiation, and climate change impacts on forest structure.
