In which condition can soil condition limit vegetation more than temperature?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: When temperature is favourable, but the soil is very shallow and nutrient-poor
Even when temperature is favourable, very shallow and nutrient-poor soil provides insufficient rooting depth, water, and minerals. Therefore, soil conditions can restrict plant growth and vegetation cover. In option B, low temperature itself may become the main limiting factor. Exam tip: identify the factor that most directly restricts plant growth in the given condition.
