Explanation
Q follows S1 by listing what land supports worldwide — vegetation, wildlife, human life, economic activity and transport. R concludes land is of great significance for all nations. P draws the inference: being finite, it must be used with care. S stresses that careful planning of land use is therefore vital, leading into S6 on India. The order is Q-R-P-S.
