Today’s “Word of the Day” is edaphic and it is an adjective meaning “relating to the physical, biological or chemical condition/composition of the soil that influences the living organisms and processes that occur in the soil in a particular area; In layman’s terms, it is concerned with the influence of soils on living things, particularly plants”.
Example Sentence: India’s varied edaphic, climatic and topographic (geographic) conditions are spread over 10 bio-geographical regions and four biodiversity hotspots, sheltering 8% of the world’s known flora (plant life) and fauna (animal life).
