註釋Shola grassland-forest mosaics, also known as sholas, are unique and ecologically significant ecosystems found in the Central & Southern Western Ghats, India. These high-altitude grassland-forest mosaics are characterized by their rolling hills, dense forests, and meadows of grasses and wildflowers. They are not only aesthetically pleasing but also play a crucial role in the biodiversity of the region. They are considered biodiversity hotspots due to their remarkable diversity of flora and fauna. The formation of this unique ecosystem is a dynamic and ongoing process. It is influenced by factors such as fire, grazing by herbivores, rainfall patterns, and human activities. However, other factors like deforestation, land conversion, and invasive species can easily disrupt the delicate balance between grasslands and forests. Consequently, the conservation of this unique ecosystem is crucial for maintaining its ecological integrity and the services it provides, including biodiversity conservation, water regulation, carbon sequestration, and cultural values.
